"October, Paramecium Pond" by Gordon Mortensen - Limited Edition Wellesley Landscape Reduction Woodblock Print15" x 22" Unframed Woodcut on Paper Gordon Mortensen (b. 1938, American) is one of the best known reduction woodcut print artists working in the U. S today. He works from watercolor studies to understand the color dynamics needed for the woodcut.
