Bill Ritchie, Seattle, Washington USA 'Remembering Rolf Nesch' (Click image to pop-up an enlargement) Artist's comments ... Rolf Nesch was one of the printmakers who influenced me. I first learned about his art in 1967, then I wrote to him and he replied. I wanted to meet him, and I did; then I went to Norway - his home - in 1969. My time with him was short, but I learned firsthand what it was like to be a struggling printmaker (and sculptor) in an unfriendly country during the hard times of WWII. He made his prints in a different way than this woodcut, but working in any fashion in memory of Rolf is worthwhile. I'll make a Web page for him, too, at www.emeralda.com/rolf If you wish to offer some feedback on this print, you may do so using this form. (Your input will be sent directly to the artist's email address, and will not be seen by anybody else ...) Your name: Email address: Positive points ... Suggestions for improvement...
