Hansen Dam 6-color Letterpress Art Print by Bruce Licher signed & numbered edition of 33 copies 10" x 13 1/4", printed on plain chipboard $45.00
The image on this print was created through a "posterization" process, by taking an original black & white photographic image and then creating five photoengraved printing plates from varying exposures ranging from dark to light. These were then layered on a solid opaque white background in shades of grey starting with the lightest color and ending with the darkest color to mimic the range of tonality you might find in an original photographic print. The original image of the Hansen Dam at the Northeast end of the San Fernando Valley is a blending of two different photographs taken by Licher in the early 1990's that overlapped on the roll of film as his camera malfunctioned: one vertical image and one horizontal image. The juxtaposition of the two images was something he found quite interesting, which is why he chose to use them in this print edition. The prints were made sometime in the early 1990's, then shelved until he recently pulled it out of storage and completed the edition.
