Irving Amen - Piazza San Marco 4

Piazza San Marco #4

Irving Amen's "The Piazza San Marco, in Venice", is the subject of at least four of his original prints. The first woodcut, "Piazza San Marco #1", dates from 1954. Piazza San Marco #4 is the largest of Irving Amen's Venice prints and clearly one of his most impressive works of art. Using many separate blocks for each color, it is a masterpiece of form and design. This is signed, titled and numbered, '12/50' by the artist in pencil. It is a fine, original example of the landscape views created by the American artist, Irving Amen.
