Block to Illustrate Woodcutting
c. 1900–1924
Location: Not on view
Description
To begin a woodcut, the image is drawn directly onto the woodblock or an ink drawing made on thin paper is glued down onto it. The white parts are cut away, as in the upper left-hand corner, leaving the lines that will be printed in relief. When the entire design is cut, any paper remnants are removed.- Against the Grain: Woodcuts from the Collection. The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH (organizer) (August 17-November 9, 2003).
