Title: Noh Study: Behind the Mask

Medium: Graphite, Chinese Ink

Edition Size: Original

Image Size: 11"x14"

Price: Please contact artist

Note: This work represents a mask used in Japanese Noh Theater. During a ceremonial dance the principle actor, wearing this mask, requests good fortune and happiness.

The face "behind the mask" is the artist's interpretation of the benevolent spirit behind this request.

The large upper chop also extends this wish for (read from left to right) long life, good luck, happiness and prosperity to you, the viewer.
