Of course, his color wood block prints are lovely, too, mostly landscapes of mountains and ocean. Here’s one of my favorites, with lots of monochromatic, low-contrast colors. If you’re going to go with color, may as well make it something that black and white can’t do!
And here’s the digest of other B printmakers I’ve featured:

I like both the prints you've chosen from Matt Brown. But my favorite in the list is Byron Birdsell, whose work we stumbled across in Kampala and then much later in Anchorage. He just died this past December.
ReplyDeleteI hope this comment does not happen twice. The prints are lovely. Lots of work go into these beauties.

I'm not really an art enthusiast. But the monochromatic painting of the sea is certainly riveting.
