UMMA Art Pick: Comments 21

Nick Collins Ann Arbor

Of the picks available, this scroll is my favorite. I have long been a fan of Japanese woodblock prints, as well.


Carol Shannon Ann Arbor, MI

Although not my favorite UMMA painting, I've always loved this painting: the delicacy of the brushstrokes, subtle gradations in ink tones, & the richness of the mounting, which adds so much to the work as a whole, yet doesn't overwhelm the painting itself.
