Description
Arizona Gold depicts the dazzling color of spring vegetation found on a high plain within the McDowell Mountains, a range located in Maricopa County that rise to the east of Scottsdale. Arizona Gold is another example of Mortensen’s mastery of the reduction color woodcut. The multiplicious layering of forty-two colors created a breathtaking sweep of this high landscape and the mountains beyond.
