WILLIAM H. JOHNSON (1901 -1970) Church by Lake II.
Woodcut on fibrous handmade buff paper, circa 1935-8. 349x349 mm; 13 3/4x13 3/4 inches, 1/8- to 1/2- inch margins. Artist's proof. A very good, dark inky impression of this very scarce print.
Provenance: the estate of Holcha Krake; by descent to her grandniece, Johanna Voll.
We have located only two other impressions - both signed impressions, handcolored with watercolor, in the collection of the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, and the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, both gifts from the Harmon Foundation.
