Cincinnati, OH - February 29, 2016: The Wonderful World of Woodcuts
opens to the public on March 14, 2016, at the Lloyd Library and Museum.
This show is the perfect blend of antique and new, with rare and
historic texts dating from the 16th century forward paired with the
modern flair of a contemporary woodcut artist, Ken Marshall, who trained
at the Columbus College of Art & Design.  Marshall's blend of modern
style with a retro method presents a unique and bold vision that
visitors won't want to miss.  His art assumes natural forms with
abstract elements, providing a new way to look at the world, inviting
viewers to imagine infinite possibilities.

 

 

 The art is shown in conjunction with a historic look at the art of
woodcuts through their primary initial function - the illustration of
texts.  Classic greats and important early volumes all provide a glimpse
into the development of this complex art form that began in Asia and
found its way to Europe and the rest of the world.  The Lloyd's volumes
cover 400 years of printing history, and feature the perfected works of
Japanese art, the early efforts by Europeans, as well as modern
renderings of the art form that are a testimony to the persistent need
for this type of work, despite the fact that so many other, and
seemingly better, illustration methods have been developed. 

 

 



 

The show is open to the public daily, Monday-Friday, 8:30-4, as well as
the 3rd Saturday of each month from 9-4.

Additional Information Available Upon Request
