Marian Korn

In 1949, she moved to Tokyo with her entrepreneur husband Frank and two daughters.

The daughter eventually became an art historian specializing in Japanese art, and, at the age of 56, Korn began her printmaking career by making woodcuts and linocuts.

Although etching, in all its variations, remained Marian Korn's favorite technique, she is known for her mastery of, and combined use of, many different methodologies.

During her career, she used, either singly or in combination, woodcuts, linocuts, collagraphy, photo-etching, paper embossing, silk-screen, sugar lift, the Hayter method (viscosity printing), and carborundum printmaking.

[6][7] Infinity from 1980, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, demonstrates the effect she achieved by combining soft ground etching with silk-screen printing.
