Description

Du Noir au Blanc (1939). The author/artist of "Passionate Journey" (a novel in 165 woodcuts) was one of the greatest woodcut artists of the 20th century. This signed print is the closest to an original save for the woodblocks themselves.

I developed a love of wood-block prints after living in Japan and becoming fascinated with ukiyo-e. I find the concept of doing a graphic novel using this technique audacious and fitting for as you correctly pointed out in our growing correspondence, those beautiful prints in Japan, like the early comic books, were considered dispensable, nothing more than wrapping paper and the like.

Outstanding to see a Masereel woodcut on CAF (among a very beautiful collection). Waiting for a Lynn Ward now...

Great splash! Some artists are gifted with pencil or brush, he was with chisel. What about a Munch in your gallery now?

I've always liked the starkness of Woodblock prints. The play of light and shadow transports the viewer into the image. It may not be as limited as Comic Art, but it's awesome nonetheless.
