Description

The art work «The old port of Marseilles», has been also made in akoutinta. The end grain woodcut of the Katsigras Collection mimics the engravings of the 19th century. The sea is depicted with geometric motives and is presented as a unified level with strong chiaroscuros. The buildings of the port at the background work as a kind of scene. The sun with its rays enlihgt the composition and it is the center from which the curves are unfolded in parallel and symmetrical way forming the sky. This is a very thought-out work of art.
