Lot Report

Literature:

Michael Bell, Colville Being Seen: The Serigraphs, Carleton University, Ottawa, 1994, page 54, illustrated.

Note:

This subject evokes ideas of Asia. The long vertical form has affinities with traditional scroll paintings. Bell writes that it was no surprise when it was seen in China and Japan, it was greatly admired.
