Send Message: To this poster

Yesterday I came across woodblock print coverage on TV as part of a PBS
program series --Craft in America: Process. Part of it featured a boost for
woodblock printing.-- a woodblock printer from Santa Cruz, CA You
might want to keep an eye open for it this week.

Subject: [Baren 42697] Art historical Lino
Send Message: To this poster

Hi Harry –
I’m not sure about whether there is a ‘general consensus’ about a hierarchical status of lino vs. wood.
But my impression is that, in Canada, there hasn’t really been a division. Lino and wood are generally
intermixed in collections, even though lino is still used in school situations (or was until about 15 years ago…)
it is also considered a material for ‘serious’ artists. In museum collections I’ve worked with prints are often
mislabeled wood or lino and it’s never been considered too serious an issue by the curators. They, generally, see
the substrate as quite secondary and unimportant compared to the image.

Cheers,
Lee
P.S. In case anyone was interested… I did ask the Glenbow’s Copyright and Publication person about the
possibility of doing Walter Phillips repros but she said that while it would be up to the estate holder
(as Dave mentioned) it wasn’t something we’d initiate, due to lack of time/interest in the project…

Perhaps whoever has a huge collection of this work might push it forward...I
would love a book of his work...maybe if we could convince them we could presell
copies they might move on it.

Exchange #47.



Participants please let me know if you would like a case and I will buy them

So far I have Olek and Bea that want a case for this Exchange #47.

Anyone else? Send email off list to either coordinator47@barenforum.org or

I will wait until the end of this week to see who wants to purchase a case
and buy bulk.

You will then receive the case along with your collated prints and pay me

Don't worry about shipping, I have mailers to fit the cases.

I gather you are living in Calgary, Lee. Are you involved with the
Glenbow? I believe you have a handle on the division re wood/lino.

I would suggest that because of an artist like Sybil Andrews lino was
elevated in popularity.
Her lino prints are commanding very substantial prices.... Raceway,
the last I saw, was selling for about $15,000 to 20,000
I met Sybil in 1989 when she was been looked after by a friend. We
had a lovely chat and exchanged books. As so often happens with
artist... she died very poor, not having enough money to go to a
proper care home. We had just moved from the Toronto area and although
the chance was there I did not have enough shackles to buy some of her
work....

With regards to Walter Phillips the chances of releasing is up to the
family.... Mary Adamson the last remaining daughter deceased about 5
years ago. The control is now with the grandchildren.... I know of
two that live here in Victoria and Phillip Adamson who lives in
Windsor Ontario. I am in regular contact with him and his wife and
know that there will be no relinquishing of copyrights. It is
interesting that they have chosen to collect my stuff. I had a very
lovely e-mail a few years ago when Ann advised me that Phillip agreed
that my work could hang in the same room as his Grandfather. I was
quite moved.

Regards
Graham

Hi Harry and anyone who's used/using lino -
I seldom cut lino BUT when recently buying inks at a TO art
supply store I found a product: "Easy-to-Cut Lino" -made in
the USA by Jack Richeson and Co Inc and thought I'd try it
to quickly produce my Chinese New Year's card... it's very
peculiar - looks like lino -is kind of greasy and elastic in
texture - doesn't 'cut like butter' as they claim as does
the eraser like material 'Easy Cut' - haven't printed from
it yet but I'm wondering if anyone knows of or has used this
product??? The other lino sold by art suppliers here
generally of an unpleasant, very hard and thin variety.

(not to mention tigers, ox, rats, etc. etc. and all the way around ...)

Sadako has just finished all the scanning and uploading of Matsumura-
san's annual new year card extravaganza. Entry page is here:
http://pippimama.com/art/woodlike/gallery_top_en.html

Each small image can be clicked for enlargements. (Don't miss the
small arrows at the side of the index pages, leading to more ... and
more ... and more ...)

After you've had enough, you can perhaps visit her main page:
http://pippimama.com/
... where - if you follow the 'English' link - you will find a link to
contact her to say 'Thank you!'. (And this will be your last chance.
Matsumura-san let her know that, with all 12 animals now in place,
this will be the final year for this presentation ...)

Thanks for the link, Dave.
All of these Year of the Rabbit cards are great and enjoyable to look
at.
My favorite is this one by Tsukasa Yoshida.

You know how Google has the 'street view' in Google Maps ... They
drove their special cars down streets all over the world so that you
can get a view of each building, etc. That's old news.

But did you know that they have driven their 'cars' (well, not exactly
_cars_, but you get the idea ...) through the corridors and rooms of
many of the world's major museums too?

Select a museum from the list, then click 'Explore the museum' ...

Woot!
