✦内容简介——

这是一部期待已久的有关木刻大师保罗·兰德克尔 (Paul Landacre, 1893–1963) 的著作，他是加州现代主义的关键人物。

保罗·兰达克 (Paul Landacre) 凭借其精湛的版画，将加州连绵起伏的山丘、古典风格以及自然和人造形态（从贝壳到自己的印刷机）提升为 20 世纪美国的一种高级艺术形式。兰达克不断进行风格创新，使他的作品与爱德华·韦斯顿 (Edward Weston) 和亨丽埃塔·肖尔 (Henrietta Shore) 等加州同时代艺术家的作品相呼应；事实上，他是被描述为“小型文艺复兴，南加州风格”的艺术环境的核心人物。兰达克版画中天鹅绒般的黑色和耀眼的白色让人想起银幕上的画面，这也恰如其分，因为这位艺术家在洛杉矶山上的乡村平房距离好莱坞只有一箭之遥，他早期的赞助人和支持者包括导演德尔默·戴夫斯 (Delmer Daves) 和女演员凯·弗朗西斯 (Kay Francis) 等名人。这套精美的两卷本插图精美，配有大尺寸、高品质的复制品，不仅提供了 Landacre 个人木版画的目录，还提供了他早期的油毡版画、知名书籍插图以及绘画、素描和石版画等其他媒介的实验作品。然而，这不仅仅是一本目录——它是 30 多年研究的成果，它生动地展现了艺术家生活的波西米亚世界，以及他作品丰富的文化和艺术背景。Landacre 的版画已经受到策展人和收藏家的青睐；这本具有里程碑意义的出版物将使他在美国艺术界占据应有的地位。

The long-awaited definitive work on master wood engraver Paul Landacre (1893–1963), a key figure of California modernism.

With his virtuosic prints of rolling California hills, classically inspired nudes, and natural and manmade forms ― from a seashell to his own printing press ― Paul Landacre elevated wood engraving to a high art form in twentieth-century America. Landacre’s ceaseless stylistic innovation placed his work in dialogue with California contemporaries like Edward Weston and Henrietta Shore; he was, in fact, central to an artistic milieu that has been described as a “small Renaissance, Southern California style.” It is fitting, too, that the velvety blacks and dazzling whites of Landacre’s prints can recall the images of the silver screen ― for the artist’s rustic bungalow on a Los Angeles hill was but a stone’s throw from Hollywood, and his early patrons and supporters included such luminaries as the director Delmer Daves and the actress Kay Francis. This handsome two-volume set, illustrated with generously sized, high-quality reproductions, offers a definitive catalogue not only of Landacre’s individual wood engravings but also of his early linocuts, his celebrated book illustrations, and his experimental works in other media, including painting, drawing, and lithography. Yet this is much more than a catalogue raisonné ― the fruit of more than 30 years of research, it brings to life the bohemian world in which the artist lived, and the rich cultural and artistic context of his work. Landacre’s prints are already prized by curators and collectors; this landmark publication will give him his rightful place in the firmament of American art.
