Drypoint titles "Monet" dated 2007 and "Baselitz (Monet)" dated 2015 are printed from the same plate; same image, but 2015 on Mitsumata. Bartow titled one state of this image "Monet," and subsequently titled another state "Baselitz," as homage to the artists.
"Kakishibu" is a traditional Japanese dye/paint of deep amber color which comes from unripe persimmons that have been fermented and aged for more than 2 years. Kakishibu is a traditional dyeing method using the discoloration caused by oxidation of the fermented juice of unripened persimmon fruit containing strong tannin. It also reacts to sunlight, so the color changes slowly with time and sun exposure.
