Yu Qi-hui (Chinese, b. 1934) "West Lake in Autumn" watercolor woodblock print, 1983. Hand numbered 3/30. An accomplished artist as well as author of "The Technique of Chinese Water Print", Yu Qi-hui is known for creating woodblock prints with a technique that results in works that look like watercolors. Yu Qi-hui developed what is known as the "dab technique" in the 1990s - marrying conventional printmaking techniques with water soluble pigments. His subjects are usually beautiful landscapes including rivers or mountains; this scene features a woman raking golden leaves that have fallen from the trees in autumn. It is hand-signed, numbered, dated, and titled - and set in an attractive, abstract bamboo patterned frame.
