DescriptionSkillful
descriptiveness characterises "Mountain Landscape", a woodcut by Giorgos Varlamos, which stands out for the amphitheatric
view in its rendering. With this work, Varlamos highlights his love for nature;
with sound technique, he seeks to produce a detailed representation on a
miniature scale, elements that he puts to full use in this work. Alternations
of light and shade separate the surfaces and volumes, while the realistic
recording intensifies the impression of a painterly sketch.
