The Distant Call of the Hototogisu, 2006

The New 100 Prints Project by Brooks Jensen New image added on 15 August 2009 New! Thanks to a web visitor, an experimental idea, Custom Folios. You pick the 5, 10, or 15 prints you want from the project and we'll build a custom folio for you and even include your name (or gift recipient's name) on the colophon. Fun!Influences from art throughout history are always present. No doubt it would never have occurred to me to make this image had it not been for all those painters from the Sung Dynasty and their long scrolls of mist in the mountains. Or, think Sesshu and the Zen paintings of the late 1400s. What a gift they've given us across the centuries — to still be able to see the world through their eyes!
