WHOLESALE LAZZELL, BLANCHE – SAIL BOAT

Format: Giclée Print, Limited Edition (1/750) on 310gsm thick, 100% cotton rag. Hand-numbered and hand-embossed. Size (cm): Image: 30.5 x 35.6; paper 43.5 x 48.0 . Woodcut (1933). This print is very much recognized as among Lazzell’s most admired and accomplished. And, more than in some other of her works, the texture of the wood can here be clearly discerned. Lazzell plays with this: she uses French watercolour pigments, and by rubbing the sheet of paper against the painted block the grain of the wood is retained – the striated pattern echoing the shape of the waves at the edge of the water.
