An indispensable guide to creating woodcut masterpieces; this volume offers instructions ranging from using the simplest strokes to making intricate multicolor print blocks. Detailed; easy-to-follow instructions are complemented by ninety-eight illustrations; most of them in color."I love the woodcut as a form of artistic expression because it requires the simplest materials and comparative muscular strength;" observes author Hans Alexander Mueller. "I love to exploit the full use of my five senses when wood; paper; and color come within my grasp." An accomplished artist whose work has illustrated numerous great literary works; Mueller explains his philosophy and techniques for creating art from the simplest materials. Readers learn about the tools of the trade; how to make plank woodcut and end-grain engravings; and how to use the medium to express themselves artistically.

CloustonI cannot recommend this book. It is very basic; poorly laid out and the index is very poor. Just as an example; one of the many weaknesses is the poor treatment of plant depreciation. Three pages contain a very padded discussion of straight line versus Interest and depreciation methods without any discussion of their relative merits or fields of application. More seriously; there is no good data on the actual inputs to be used in the methods; eg economic life of plant etc. This is typical of the book; only the trivial aspects of estimating are covered.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
