This is a lithograph print of the fine art produced by J.K. Dinesen for the Seattle World's Fair. Otherwise known as the Century 21 Exposition, the world's fair ran from April 21 - October, 21 of 1962 where it featured the construction of the iconic Space Needle, Alweg monorail, several sports stadiums and performing arts buildings.
The print was described as follows in the official catalogue for the art of J.K. Dinesen at the Seattle World's Fair.
"Technique is the touchstone used by the artist to unlock the truth from the wilderness in "Winter Rapids." Through the use of wide vertical strokes, Dinesen subtly reveals the sweeping relentlessness of Nature's hidden power in this scene of solitude, executed in the Coast Range in southern British Columbia."
