Abstract sumi e print “Heaven and Earth for Clothes” by Marilyn Wells

Abstract sumi e Zen style print with ink wash, wet and dry brushstrokes was inspired by

There a beggar goes!
Heaven and earth he’s wearing
for his summer clothes.
- Basho 1906S

We haven’t far to look now in America for the beggar, tho this writing might have evoked a romantic image as recently as 50 years ago in our country. Still there is truth poetry in the image. Sparse simplicity many of us yearn for in our complex world today.

This is a Limited Edition Fine Art Print, numbered and signed, made from archival, museum quality giclée ink on hot press, acid-free 100% cotton rag media with a fine-tooth surface. Each will have an additional 1/4” white border to accommodate most framing needs, or which you can cut off if you wish. It is packaged in a crystal clear envelope with a sturdy back board for shipping and framing protection.

Each print will be hand signed on the back by the artist along with a stamp of authentication.

For all prints, expect 10 business days working time, as each is hand printed just before shipping, although usually less time is needed. Contact me for any other questions.

Original - AVAILABLE
