Japan Haku Maki 1965 or so Cell B This is a very early Maki print . He did it no later than 1966 it depicts many cells of a human all done very explicitly and clearly Cell was an early Maki theme He used it less than a dozen times the cells must have been busy re-creating themselves But here they seem calm and static Embossed z

The big red Poem 71–74 is a rarely seen Maki Big Red. It shows a three-character phrase from Daoist literature 心善渊 “Heart like a deep pool, clear and calm, not affected by external environment.” As depicted by Maki, it is a stunning print. It was seen electronically but once in the past decade. It is coming back to Asia with a big red roar. It is embossed, the red design surrounded by black ink, and is typical of a short period in Maki’s life—the early 1970s—when he did such dramatic prints. This big red has it all—pink splash on the kanji, a blue dash above the black field and a black sun below the red field.

1971 was a big year for Haku Maki He did over 100 different images of Japanese prints. Some, like this one, were big prints--this one, Poem 71-91, is 30.5 Inches x 15.25. It is 68/108. This is the abstract kanji for Mu or Nothing and he titled it Nothing The kanji starts at the top then cascades down to the final four strokes at the bottom. From a distance it appears to me like the steps going from top to bottom of a building on a Chinese hill on the Yangzi. Rare and dramatic,fully restored.The back has tape remnants which are stable and cannot be removed.
