Original Description
Pines By The Sea by Bertha Boynton Lum (1869–1954) is a captivating woodblock print that embodies the poetic serenity of early 20th-century Japonism in Western art. Created circa 1920, Lum’s work marries Western artistic sensibilities with Japanese woodcut techniques, a hallmark of her distinctive style. The composition depicts towering pines silhouetted against a tranquil seascape, their graceful forms echoing the rhythmic waves below—a harmonious balance between nature’s strength and fluidity. Lum, among the few Western women to master traditional Japanese printmaking, infused her scenes with a dreamlike quality, often drawing inspiration from her travels in Asia. This piece exemplifies her skill in layering subtle colors and delicate lines, reflecting the shin-hanga (new print) movement’s revival of ukiyo-e aesthetics. Though lesser-known than male contemporaries like Hiroshige, Lum’s contributions to arts and crafts-era printmaking remain significant, bridging cultural and gendered divides in art history.
For interior styling, Pines By The Sea evokes timeless tranquility, making it ideal for spaces favoring organic minimalism or Zen-inspired decor. A medium-sized print (e.g., 16"x20") would anchor a reading nook or meditation room, its muted blues and greens harmonizing with linen textiles, pale wood tones, or weathered ceramics. Pair it with streamlined walnut frames to underscore its handmade elegance or display it alongside other shin-hanga works for a curated gallery wall. In offices, it lends calm to neutral palettes—layer it above a mid-century desk with brass accents for warmth. Avoid overcrowding; let Lum’s lyrical composition breathe as a focal point, its oceanic hues subtly echoed in throw pillows or a sisal rug for cohesion. Whether in a coastal cottage or a modernist loft, this print invites contemplation while elevating the space’s artistic pedigree.
