Frasconi



Frasconi is an artist that the Hoff asked me to look at. He was a woodcut artist from the early 20th cen., and is famous for his illustrations of Aesop's Fables. His work was characterized by how he worked with the grain, and he would often use selective work with wire brushes to help highlight it.

I'm not sure what he shows his undergrad classes, it may have been just for me.
