A Toad and a Crow (Wang Hui-Ming)

$150.00

Wang Hui-Ming was born in the Republic of China in 1922, taught at Yale from 1951–61, then taught at UMass Amherst from 1964 to 1989, illustrated a Gehenna Press book, made this woodcut with a parable about perspective in 1970, and died in 2006. Printed straight from the block in an edition of 275 copies, it’s a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma with curious lettering.
