Created typically as a collage as his health declined, the Wan prints are characterised by their striking vessel imagery and tactile depth, reflecting Maki’s lifelong fascination with pottery. Issued in parallel with the Z-series (fruit and vegetable collages) and his second Months series of 1998, the Wan works mark a distinctive and contemplative later chapter in his life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHaku Maki (1924-2000) was an influential Japanese printmaker known for merging traditional kanji and ancient Chinese seal scripts with abstract, modern compositions.
