Robert Blackburn’s Miss Unity is a follow-up variation produced from earlier carved woodblocks. The arrangement of pod-shapes lodged between solid rectangular masses were first produced as early as 1965 as Jay Hawk Talk, printed in black and presented as a horizontal composition. Blackburn revisited the blocks in 1991 to give us Miss Unity, re-conceived with an alternate combination of colors; warm, bright orange played against deep blue masses. Miss Unity has a fresh and highly satisfying feeling, not unlike the rebirth of plant life each Spring. Blackburn often returned to his plates with new ideas and a purpose of reinvention. We are glad he did.
