All This Profusion

I’m always looking for design inspiration, and this site has been very helpful to me in providing some beautiful woodcut examples.  A bit of poking around will provide you with a large variety of prints organized by type, process, artist… it’s fairly well organized.  Having done a fair number of woodcut prints myself, it is always extraordinary to see the level of detail and just imagine the time spent.



 

My only problem is it is a bit difficult to navigate, but the images are worth it, especially some of the letters.

love always, Jandek

    Additional (mostly illustrative) inspiration appears here with some frequency, thanks to the far-ranging interests and diligence of India.

    There’s only so much stuff I have the time and patience to post. For faster service, go to the source:

    • The Art of Wood-engraving in Italy in the Fifteenth Century by Friedrich Lippmann

    • Catalogue of Early German and Flemish Woodcuts Preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum by Campbell Dodgson

    • English Book-illustration of To-day: Appreciations of the Work of Living English Illustrators with Lists of Their Books by Rose Esther Dorothea Sketchley

    and more.
