Item description from seller

Neuware - 'A fascinating account of the hidden history of the humble woodcut' SUNDAY TIMESInk Paper Chisel Grain is a dazzling journey through 500 years of art, ideas and human imagination, told through one of the most enduring and versatile artistic mediums ever created.At its simplest, a woodcut begins with a piece of wood, a cutting tool, ink and paper. Yet from these humble materials artists have created some of the most powerful images in human history. In Ink Paper Chisel Grain, artist and printmaker Paul Coldwell invites us into intimate encounters with the works and makers who transformed woodcut from a practical technology into a vehicle for beauty, revolution, protest and wonder.Travelling across centuries and continents, Coldwell guides us from Albrecht Dürer's apocalyptic visions and Hokusai's Great Wave to Käthe Kollwitz's searing anti-war prints and the monumental contemporary works of William Kentridge. Along the way we meet artists, printers, collectors, curators and craftsmen; step inside museums, archives and studios; and discover how a simple process of cutting into wood helped shape the visual culture of the modern world.Part history, part travelogue, part meditation on art and making, Ink Paper Chisel Grain reveals how woodcut has survived every technological revolution thrown at it, celebrating the enduring human impulse to leave a mark.
