LOREM IPSUM

Spelt "Tetsuyia Noda" on the museums info card, this seriograph is believed to be by Tetsuya Noda, who is widely considered to be Japan's most important living print-artist, and one of the most successful print artists in the world.

"Tetsuya Noda (野田 哲也, Noda Tetsuya, born 5 March 1940) is a contemporary artist, printmaker and educator. He is a professor emeritus of the Tokyo University of the Arts. Noda is most well-known for his visual autobiographical works done as a series of woodblock, print, and silkscreened diary entries that capture moments in daily life. His innovative method of printmaking involves photographs scanned through a mimeograph machine and then printed the images over the area previously printed by traditional woodblock print techniques onto the Japanese paper. Although this mixed-media technique is quite prosaic today, Noda was the first artist to initiate this breakthrough." -Artists wikipedia page
