“Mountain View II” by William Omurcada (b. 1947), 1984 hand-pulled serigraph on paper, signed & numbered 312/400, 26×40 inches.
Vintage William Omurcada “Mountain View II” serigraph – expansive alpine landscape with layered mountain ranges and atmospheric sky, hand-pulled limited edition print signed and numbered 312/400, a refined example of American modern landscape serigraphy.
Artwork Description
“Mountain View II” presents a sweeping alpine panorama composed of successive mountain ranges receding into a luminous horizon. Omurcada constructs depth through carefully layered serigraphic color fields, transitioning from dark, forested foreground silhouettes to cool midtones and softly illuminated distant peaks. The restrained palette—dominated by muted violets, blues, and grays—creates a tranquil, contemplative mood, while the broken cloud forms above add lightness and spatial openness. The composition emphasizes scale and stillness, transforming natural topography into a rhythmic, almost abstract sequence of forms. Printed on archival paper, the sheet measures approximately 26 × 40 inches. The lower margin bears the artist’s hand-written title “Mountain View II,” signature, date, and edition number 312/400 in pencil, confirming authenticity and limited-edition status. The work exemplifies Omurcada’s mature landscape language, where minimalism, atmosphere, and disciplined printmaking technique converge.
Artist Biography
William Omurcada was born June 28, 1947, in Boston, Massachusetts. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University in 1969. Following his undergraduate studies, he worked in the Surgical Research Department at Harvard Medical School, focusing on immunology, before transitioning fully into the arts. In 1971, Omurcada relocated to Washington, D.C., where he completed his first volume of poetry, The Tourist, reflecting his enduring integration of visual and literary expression. In 1972, he moved to Santa Barbara, California, studying art and literature under Robert Carty, Director of the Santa Barbara Art Institute, and became actively engaged in printmaking under the direction of David Maulhardt. He also studied with renowned printmaker Antonio Frasconi and pursued extensive experimentation with woodblock and relief printing. Influenced by his early years in New England and extensive travel throughout Europe and North Africa, Omurcada developed a refined sensitivity to landscape, structure, and atmosphere. Over the course of his career, he personally hand-pulled more than sixty editions of serigraphs, distributed nationally and internationally, earning recognition for their painterly surfaces, relief textures, and harmonious color blending within the American printmaking tradition of the 1970s and 1980s.
