Original Description
Bertha Boynton Lum's Road To The Forest epitomizes the ethereal beauty of early 20th-century woodblock printmaking, blending Eastern and Western artistic influences with poetic subtlety. This enchanting work captures a solitary figure—likely influenced by Lum’s fascination with Japanese aesthetics—ambling along a path dappled with delicate foliage, suffused in a dreamlike haze of muted greens and ochres. Created during Lum’s time in Asia, where she mastered traditional Japanese and Chinese print techniques, the piece reflects her signature style: asymmetrical compositions, flattened perspectives, and a harmonious interplay of nature and human presence. As one of the few Western women to excel in Asian woodblock printing during this era, Lum’s work occupies a unique niche in art history, bridging cultural divides while evoking introspection and quietude. Road To The Forest exemplifies her ability to transform ordinary moments into lyrical visual narratives, resonating with collectors of both Arts and Crafts Movement pieces and Japonisme.
For interiors, Road To The Forest lends itself to spaces that celebrate serenity and organic elegance. A medium-sized version (around 24x36 inches) would anchor a minimalist study or bedroom, its soft palette harmonizing with muted tones like sage, linen, or warm greys. Frame it in a slim, natural wood or black lacquer finish to complement the print’s delicate lines. In an office, pair it with rustic-modern decor—think woven textiles, unglazed ceramics, and slender-lined furnishings—to enhance its contemplative vibe. Positioning it opposite a window or under diffused lighting will amplify its atmospheric glow, while avoiding busy patterns nearby ensures its subtler details shine. Ideal for spaces designed to inspire calm creativity, Lum’s work transforms walls into portals of quiet reverie.
