    Modernist
    painter and artist
    Walter Pashko,
    who for many years, was a professor of fine art at Tufts Universities' Museum School for fine art studies. In his early years, he studied painting in Hartford, CT and then traveled all the way to Mexico, where he studied with some of the internationally known and celebrated Mexican muralist painters and their first generation proteges, wanting to learn the art of mural making (fresco painting on wet plaster.) He then moved back to the

    after having become quite adept at the art of printmaking, which he pursued while he was in Mexico. He landed an assistant position in the printmaking department at Tufts Universities' Museum School. He remained at the Boston, MA art school for over thirty years, taking over the printmaking department under his wing after his initial supervisor had retired. Though
    Pashko
    taught and was principally involved with the craft and discipline of fine art printmaking, he still considered himself principally to be a painter. He retired in the 1990's and continued to produce relevant and fresh Modernist images well into his seventies. He used pattern, broken and fractured, deconstructed and reassembled pictorial fields and strong, undiluted, non-representational color, to create surprise, visual excitement and to render the oft recognized, new and fresh once again to the viewer's eye, as is the case with this exciting and marvelous color figurative woodblock print. It's pencil signed by the artist in the lower right and is from a very small edition, being print number three of seven (3/7) making it a scarce and quite rare work by the now late
