Street scene

This woodcut delighted me - the bottom of the image is the woodcut, 2 x 30 inches; the top is a detail. Just two inches high ... and printed in three colours ... that approaches the condition of doing embroidery!It's called Emmons Avenue and it's by Uruguayan-born Antonioo Frasconi, who lives in Connecticut. You can see more of his work here, and I found out about him via the blog of woodcut artist Annie Bissett - in the sidebar you'll find a long list of "other woodblock artists".

Thanks for blogging about Frasconi - his work gives me lots of ideas!
