Catlin Pond" is a 1981 color reduction woodcut by Gordon Mortensen, and its title points to a specific place rather than a portrait subject, though the record does not say where that pond lies. In a color reduction woodcut, the printmaker carves a single block, prints it in one color, cuts away more of the surface, and prints again, so each stage adds a layer of color while the earlier ones are partly removed. This method means the finished sheet cannot be reproduced exactly, which makes each impression a distinct record of the carving and inking process. The date and attribution come from an old caption card and have not been independently verified.
