This book reveals the technique of a man who is among the most influential and beloved printmakers of the twentieth century. Being fastidious and infinitely patient, Baumann saved many of his preliminary drawings and progressive proofs, leaving behind a fascinating and intricate story of his creative process. Hand of a Craftsman features the heretofore unpublished notes and progressives the artist compiled in the making of his extraordinary woodcut Grand Caon and includes many prints never before reproduced and rarely exhibited. Baumann's work is awash in brilliant, hand-ground pigments and reveals a style that is wholly self-reliant and free. The intriguing technique used by this meticulous master, complex but enthralling, only enhances one's appreciation for this unique colour woodcut medium.

The Parisian career of the Belgian artist Henri Evenepoel was part of that fabulous decade when the French capital was the center of artistic activity. A student of Gustave Moreau at the Ecole des Beaux -Arts, where he was a classmate and friend Matisse, Evenepoel pursued a wide range of activities including poster design, book illustration, printmaking and music sessions with his friends. Throughout his career Evenepoel carried on an active correspondence with his father and friends in his native Brussels. His letters are filled with a wealth of information, including observations on life in the studios and comments on the exhibited works of Manet, Whistler, Redon, and Bonnard among others. His commentary is conveyed with a vividness that characterizes the era from a unique point of view. Professor Hyslop's study of Evenepoel's art is based on a reading of his correspondence and is illustrated with fifty-two of his works in various media, presenting a fascinating picture of the Paris art world of the nineties. This book introduces to a wider audience the work of a highly talented artist whose early death was a loss to 19th-century painting.

Michel de Montaigne, the inventor of the essay, has always been acknowledged as a great literary figure but has never been thought of as a philosophical original. This book treats Montaigne as a serious thinker in his own right, taking as its point of departure Montaigne's description of himself as 'an unpremeditated and accidental philosopher'. Whereas previous commentators have treated Montaigne's Essays as embodying a scepticism harking back to classical sources, Ann Hartle offers an account that reveals Montaigne's thought to be dialectical, transforming sceptical doubt into wonder at the most familiar aspects of life. This major reassessment of a much admired but also much underestimated thinker will interest a wide range of historians of philosophy as well as scholars in comparative literature, French studies and the history of ideas.

As with many young artists of the Santa Fe art colony, Willard Clark, the recognized American printmaker, was on his way to somewhere else when he landed in Santa Fe in 1928. He ended up spending a lifetime there creating a unique body of wood engravings. Carving his own wood blocks as illustrations for commercial job printing, Clark's illustrations and original typographic design came to define the look of Santa Fe as a destination for travelers in the 1930s and '40s seeking southwestern experiences and colorful locales. Originally released in a hand-bound limited edition, Willard Clark: Printer & Printmaker is being reissued in an expanded trade edition that includes numerous black-and-white and color illustrations of the beautiful woodblock illustrations that made Clark famous. This is the definitive work on Clark and explores both his life and his printmaking. Clark trained at the Grand Central School of Art in New York City and then studied with Charles W. Hawthorne, founder of the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown, before moving to study commercial art in Indianapolis. Clark's training served him well when he became Santa Fe's fulltime job printer, handling the commercial work for the local hotels, restaurants, and the social and business scene. Included in Willard Clark: Printer & Printmaker are illustrations of his menus, "do not disturb" signs, letterhead, and advertisements, all created with the finely crafted artistic sensibility that came to define the look of Santa Fe and record some of its richest cultural moments. His images: burros laden with wood, Spanish women clad in shawls, adobe churches and village became synonymous with the city, but also developed a newcategory in American art as well. Collectors vigorously seek Clark's prints because of their beauty of subject, their artistry, and the technical precision Clark applied to his craft. This book is a must for anyone interested in folk art, printmakers and printmaking, New Mexican art and culture, and the beautiful renderings of internationally renowned artist Willard Clark.
