Jacques Hnizdovsky, Flamingo, woodcut, pencil signed, dated and numbered 1970, 17/30. Note: Jacques Hnizdovsky was born in Ukraine in 1915 and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. After he moved to the United States in 1949 Hnizdovsky produced hundreds of paintings, pen and ink sketches, watercolor and over 375 prints. Today Hnizdovsky is best known for his woodcuts, which he printed himself, directly from the woodblock, on washi ("rice paper"); his interest in the technique was inspired by Japanese woodblock printing and the woodcuts of Albrecht Durer, a 16th century German printmaker and mathematician.
