August Moon

Known for teaching his students to transform the energy of nature into art by using the elements of design - line, balance, color, and more - the artist Arthur Wesley Dow focused on synthesizing actual feelings rather than leaning on art theory like so many of his forebears.  Perhaps, that is why the maker of this letterpress card includes this design in their 'Sympathy' collection. The moon may be rising or setting, and one thing that is clear is that reflection and lightness amidst a dark background prevail. Deep and saturated purple, blue, and green tones provide a visual starting point for a quiet and personal meditation. What do you think of in the darkness of night? To have this card is to look through a window and wonder. - Measures 5" x 7"- Blank inside- Recycled paper- Envelope included Saturn Press is an eco-concious company based on Swan's Island off the Maine coast.
