Comments from the 'Upload' crew ... the two people who did all the work to make this book available for you to read and study ...


I love the woodcut as a form of artistic expression because it requires the simplest materials and comparative muscular strength. I love to exploit the full use of my five senses when wood, paper and color come within my grasp.
