Wendingen 1919:7/8 (Houtsneden nummer compleet )

Woodcuts by a broad group of artists bring together printmaking and decorative design in this magazine issue devoted to woodcut artists. Contributors include Hildo Krop, Chris Lebeau, Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, Jan Mankes, Else Berg and Gustave de Smet. The selection also includes work by K. P. C. de Bazel and J. L. M. Lauweriks, whose earlier woodcuts are discussed in an accompanying text by R. N. Roland Holst. His discussion connects their approach to the character of the woodcut medium with their investigation and use of geometric systems. A large folding woodcut by C. A. Lion Cachet forms part of the issue. Roland Holst also designed the cover, bringing his contribution to both the written discussion and the magazine’s visual presentation.
