Monotype on white mould-made paper. Signed by the artist, annotated “E”, and dated 1990 lower right in pencil.
This large, colorful mountain and river landscape monotype depicts a secluded inlet or river flanked by rocky banks. Terra-cotta, yellow, brown, green and grey hued cliffs rise behind brilliant sapphire water. Green brush dots the water’s shores, and a deep blue sky is textured with navy blue dots, bounded by black-tipped crags. The translucency of the ink is showcased by the artist’s loose, painterly brush strokes, which create rich layers of color and texture. The imagery of On the Map is taken from an old picture book.
