Original Description
Bertha Boynton Lum's Incense is a mesmerizing woodblock print that transports viewers into a dreamlike world of ethereal beauty. Created in the early 20th century, Lum masterfully blends Japonisme influences with Art Nouveau sensibilities—her signature style that bridged Eastern and Western aesthetics. The delicate lines, soft washes of color, and intricate patterning evoke a sense of quiet reverence, as if capturing a fleeting moment of spiritual contemplation. Lum, one of the few Western women to study traditional Japanese printmaking firsthand, brought an exotic lyricism to the American Arts and Crafts movement. Incense exemplifies her ability to infume everyday scenes with mysticism, securing her legacy as a pivotal figure in early modernist printmaking. The work’s layered symbolism and technical finesse make it a standout in collections like the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
For a modern space, Incense would thrive in a serene, minimalist setting where its intricate details can shine. Hang it in a meditation nook, a light-filled study, or above a console table in an entryway to create a focal point that invites reflection. Pair it with warm, organic textures like linen upholstery, walnut wood accents, or ceramic vases in muted earth tones to harmonize with its soft palette of ochres, blues, and ivories. A medium-sized print (around 18"x24") would suit most residential walls without overwhelming them, while a larger format could anchor an office lobby or lounge. Avoid clashing with bold patterns—let Lum’s artistry take center stage alongside understated décor for a balanced, contemplative ambiance.
