The book covers Dürer's entire career in exacting detail. (book description)

Nature's Artist: Plants and Animals - A master graphic artist, Albrecht Dürer was the most important artist of the Northern Renaissance. Although he was extremely influential as a printer, his drawings and paintings reveal a profound scientific curiosity about and sensitivity to the world around him. This collection of sketches and watercolors includes thirty-four animal and plant studies, including the masterpieces, "Hare" and "Large Patch of Grass." Victoria Salley’s lively essay explores Dürer’s interest in nature and the gorgeous reproductions which follow allow readers to appreciate the intricate beauty of Dürer’s work as well as his keen powers of observation—traits which continue to inspire and instruct artists today.

The Woodcut Artist's Handbook: Techniques and Tools for Relief Printmaking - The history of the woodcut goes back over a thousand years. Working carefully with great precision, the woodcut artist carves a mirror image of a design on wood or other suitable material. Then the design is inked and pressed against paper. The technique allows the artist to create an almost unlimited number of impressions of the same work. The precision of the work and the ability of the artist to create multiple impressions allow many fine woodcut artists to create pieces at a reasonable price that an average collector can afford.

The Woodcut Artist's Handbook provides the basics of this craft with a detailed analysis of the tools and the media. Artists can improve or develop considerable skill in this art by following these instructions and helpful tips. Beginners and advanced woodcutters and collectors will gain a deeper understanding of and appreciation for this craft and this art.
