Title: グランドキャニオン Cloud Shadows, Grand Canyon. Ed. 3/100.
Series: 名匠との旅 Travels with the Master.
名匠との旅 Travels with the Master - A series inspired directly from Binnie’s admiration for Hiroshi Yoshida (1876-1950). Binnie traveled to some of Yoshida’s most notable travel scenes outside of Japan, printing his own run of designs in tribute to Yoshida’s original counterpart images. Other notable examples in the series include Binnie’s/Yoshida’s ルガノ町 Lugano & ナイアガラ瀑布 Niagara Falls pieces.
Artist: Paul Binnie (1967-Present).
Signed, Sealed & Dated:
Series title to upper left margin - 名匠との旅 (cut in manner of Hiroshi Yoshida’s counterpart print) -, along with print title グランドキャニオン written in katakana beneath. In lower left of image lies Binnie’s kanji signature together with Binnie’s traditional artist seal in red below. Further signed, titled, and editioned in pencil to plate. Paper blind-stamped “Binnie” to center of plate. Published 2007 (Initially commenced late 2004).
Medium: Woodblock Print.
Paper Size: H: 48.00 cm x W: 67.00cm.
Condition: Shipped Framed (High quality grained grey/brown frame by specialists “The Framing Workshop”, Bath, UK). An early impression & of very fine condition.
Notes: For グランドキャニオン Cloud Shadows, Grand Canyon, Binnie pays homage to Hiroshi Yoshida’s original print from 1925. Binnie’s print captures the air of Yoshida’s scene with a similar sense of perspective and masterful reflection of detail & shadow. However, it is very much an individual design - with over thirty colour impressions printed from fourteen different blocks.
グランドキャニオン Cloud Shadows, Grand Canyon was the first in Binnie’s 名匠との旅 Travels with the Master series. For this design, Binnie paid a final homage to Hiroshi Yoshida when his grandson, Tsukasa Yoshida (1949-Present), now leading the Yoshida studio, accepted Binnies blocks, printing the final run on his behalf.
