Blocks of Color

I don't think I have been more impressed by woodcut than seeing "Blocks of Color" at the Zimmerli Art Museum. The way in which our contemporary landscapes are portrayed make them seem more real than they are. They have the aura that Japanese woodcut would give out, a special view of nature in a block of wood. The color brightness made them seen real, like taken out of a photograph. What impressed me the most was that the colors looked like watercolors. It gave the woodcut like a color outline that rounded up each block.
