Lucky! I've used a similar press for printing wood engravings and it
was perfect for the task.

Hi All,

I haven't read every post but surely understood what Carol, Sharri and Clive
had to say. Recently watched Renoir's 1939 film, The Rules of the Game, and
you know, in it, the bourgeoisie make a name for themselves by deciding what
to buy. Yes, that's the extent of their creativity.

"Well, that was a strange interjection," you may say. "That had nothing to
do with woodblock printing!"

My point is that art is a religious act. Yes, I'll even capitalize it... ART
IS A RELIGIOUS ACT.

Peace,
Eileen

Why do you think so many are prejudiced against loving Art?


?? i think its out of intimidation and fear. art became elitist and very academic some time ago and even though we are getting away from that somewhat, its reputation still precedes it. to many boys and men going to a museum or art gallery is a sissy thing to do. (i teach high school art) the lack of understanding heightens this feeling. i think that the current art movement is helping to change that. or at least i hope so
