Description

Wooka is an offset lithograph and screenprint in an edition of 76, which is one in a series produced by Brandywine during two visits. The screen-printed border accents the central space, which is offset, emphasizing the two planes that shimmer and radiate.

"Olitski was an artist thrilled by actions with unpredictable outcomes, by the tension of not knowing just what would happen as a consequence of the movements of his hand. Delicately particulate pinks, yellows, mauves, blues, greens, purples, and oranges engage in a whispery tête-à-tête. Generous, unpremeditated brush strokes and melting expanses of color characterize Olitski's prints from then on."
