mikeweil Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 The above is a self-portrait, she did several very impressive ones. She was born in 1885 and took her own life in 1933 as a protest agianst the upcoming Nazi regime, who had just painted over some grand fresco she had done.

Brownian Motion Posted June 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 Lilian Miller, whose woodblock print I began this thread with, was born in Japan in 1895, the daughter of the American Counsel. She began formal art lessons from Japanese masters at a young age, came to the US for college, but afterwards returned to Japan and then followed her family to Korea. By the mid-1930s mounting medical problems forced her to leave the East for Hawaii, where she died in 1943. She was unusual among Japanese printmakers in not only designing her prints, but also in cutting and printing the blocks. This print dates from the late 1920s.
