Hand of a Craftsman: The Woodcut Technique of Gustave Baumann

Hand of a Craftsman: The Woodcut Technique of Gustave Baumann by Acton, David. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780890132975.

Baumann leaned the fundamentals of color relief printmaking in Germany where he was a student in 1905; after some time in Chicago and Indiana, he lived and worked for more than 50 years in Santa Fe. This volume was conceived and designed to complement Gustave Baumann: Nearer to Art , by Martin F. Krause et al (1993, Museum of New Mexico Press), which focused on the artists life and his development as a printmaker; the present study concentrates on Baumanns printmaking methods and his achievements. Featured illustrations include studies and progressive proofs as well as prints from all periods of his career. 9.5x11" Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
