From a world-renowned printmaker and illustrator, comes this primer on the art of wood engraving - a pursuit which one can 'learn' in an hour, but one which can only be mastered through years of persistence, dedication...blood, sweat, and tears."Wood Engraving" is filled with a lifetime of knowledge - how to prepare a printing block; how to think in the medium's properties of line, shape, and ink; and how to transfer a drawing onto a block - as well as genial and practical advice on everything from which tools to use and which inks work best, to how to fail successfully, and how to acquire the habits of work that lead to real achievement. A lesson in both life, and art, this beautifully illustrated volume will become an invaluable reference for anyone interested in this unique and fulfilling art form.
