"See America First" : The Prints of H.C. Westermann

Summary: Westermann as a Printmaker
Review: H.C. westermann is known for his art objects usually made out of wood. This book presents Westermann the Printmaker. Westermann started working in linocut and woodcut and progressed to lithographs. His first prints were crude almost child like prints of everyday objects. His subject matter is what you know most - objects of everyday use. His later work is more elaborate and he added landscape and figure into his repertoire. The book is well done and conveys quite well the artist's intent. If you already have H.C. Westermann's book of his art objects this is a must. This book is also well suited for wannabe printmakers and artists of all ages.
