Carol Summers is renowned for his vivid colors and the revolutionary woodblock techniques he introduced in the 1960s. In the course of printing he frequently used solvents to transform the pigments into dyes which then tend to penetrate the paper and result in a watercolor effect. This allows for rich colors and soft blurred edges. His work is known for its big, bold, beautiful forms and joyous colors.
