For example, his 1955 encounter in Mexico with primitive Pre-Columbian artifacts and architecture radically reoriented his art. A survey of the total range of his work - about 600 prints over 45 years - reveals distinct periods, each having major changes in subject matter, vocabulary, style, and color pallet. His styles, while always his own, drew from Expressionism, Pop, Photorealism, and Color Field abstraction. Broadly speaking most of his prints would be categorized as Sosaku Hanga.  Information and prices for his woodblock prints can be found on Internet. The size of this woodblock print is 22 1/4 x 15 inches, which is MUCH LARGER than the tradition Japanese woodblock print.  Four borders are intact.  The colors, which are vivid and vibrant, are in layers on the print.
