Label

This print is a carefully deliberated construction of light and shadow. Olivier used only three colors: a stone in black ink is printed over a second stone of a honey-colored hue, while the color of the paper itself provides white accents (as on the snow-capped mountain peaks seen here). Both stones are drawn with amazing precision so that when combined, the entire scene appears bathed in glowing light.
