Beschreibung:
Woodcut and letterpress artist Tom Killion grew up in Marin County, California, on the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais, where the rugged scenery inspired him from an early age to create landscape prints strongly influenced by traditional Japanese woodblock prints. Along with publishing fine art letterpress books, Killion holds a PhD in African history from Stanford University and has taught history at several Bay Area universities. He is the founder of The Quail Press and his extensively illustrated books include 28 Views of Mount Tamalpais, The Coast of California, and Walls: A Journey Across Three Continents. Killion and Gary Snyder collaborated on California's Wild Coast, The High Sierra of California, and Tamalpais Walking, all published by Heyday. You can find out more about his artwork at tomkillion.com.
The first Trade Paperback edition of our recent bestseller with the poetry and journals of Gary Snyder, the woodcuts of Tom Killion, and the reflections of John Muir combining to present the power and beauty of this natonal treasure. Included are 28 exquisite full color and dozens of b&w woodcuts in the Japanese style.
