Original Description
Frank Morley Fletcher's color woodblock print California 1—Salinas River transports viewers to the golden serenity of early 20th-century California. The artwork masterfully captures the meandering Salinas River framed by rolling hills bathed in warm sunlight, executed in Fletcher's signature Anglo-Japanese style that blends Western landscape traditions with Japanese ukiyo-e printing techniques. As one of the pioneering British artists who revived the art of color woodblock printing in the West, Fletcher created this work during his influential California period (1923-1926), where he taught at Santa Barbara School of the Arts. The print exemplifies his gift for harmonizing bold compositional structure with delicate atmospheric effects, occupying an important place in the history of Western printmaking as both a technical achievement and a poetic interpretation of the American landscape.
For interior decoration, Fletcher's Salinas River makes an exceptional focal point in spaces embracing organic modernism or Craftsman-style aesthetics. Its panoramic horizontal format (typical dimensions around 9" x 18") works beautifully above sofas, sideboards, or office credenzas, with the warm ochres and soft blues naturally complementing earthy color palettes. Consider framing it with a slender walnut floater frame to honor its Arts & Crafts origins, and position adjacent to textured linen draperies or rustic wood furnishings to enhance its tactile quality. In professional spaces, it brings calming energy to executive offices—pair with Mission-style leather chairs and hammered copper accents to create synergy with Fletcher's handcrafted technique. The scene's meditative quality makes it particularly suitable for reading nooks or bedrooms where its gentle rhythm can be fully appreciated.
