Original Description
Bertha Boynton Lum’s Rice Barns is a captivating example of early 20th-century woodblock printmaking, blending Eastern and Western artistic traditions with striking elegance. Created during Lum’s time in Japan and China, the piece reflects her deep fascination with Asian rural life, rendered through her distinctive Western perspective. The composition features tranquil rice barns set against softly layered landscapes, with delicate lines and harmonious colors evoking a sense of serene timelessness. Lum’s mastery of color woodcuts—a technique she studied intensively—shines through in the subtle gradations and textural details, placing her among the pioneering Western artists who popularized Asian printmaking methods in America. Today, Rice Barns is celebrated for its cross-cultural significance, exemplifying the Arts and Crafts movement’s embrace of handcrafted aesthetics while bridging continents in art history.
For interior styling, Rice Barns offers versatility—its muted earth tones and organic forms make it ideal for spaces aiming for warmth and simplicity. In a modern minimalist living room, a framed print (suggested size: 24”x18”) could anchor a neutral wall, complemented by woven textures like jute rugs or linen cushions to echo its rustic charm. For offices, it fosters calm; pair it with rich wood finishes and indirect lighting to enhance its meditative quality. The artwork’s balanced composition also suits transitional interiors—layer it alongside subdued ceramics or a single bold accent (e.g., a terracotta vase) to create depth without overwhelming. Whether in a home study or a corporate lounge, Lum’s piece invites contemplation while harmonizing with both contemporary and traditional décors.
