Reviews
'There was nothing small about [Paul] Landacre's vision,' writes Dana Gioia in his afterword to the two-volume catalogue raisonné of California's greatest wood engraver. 'Despite their modest dimensions, his best prints are monumental and perdurable.' The same might be said of this finely chiseled box set produced by Abbeville Press. Landacre (1893-1963) looked to the open spaces and open possibilities of the landscape of the American West and luxuriated in its sensuous forms. As researched and written by Jake Milgram Wien, with a foreword by John Bidwell, this definitive catalogue covers 350 works while also including entries on Landacre's preparatory studies., Meticulously detailed. . . A major resource for the understanding and appreciation of this artist., A staggering achievement in bibliography, biography and cultural studies Paul Landacre: California Hills documents the artistic output of Paul Landacre (1893-1963), the California artist who was one of America's most talented printmakers and book illustrators, in his case, through the technique of wood engraving. The author, cultural historian Jake Milgram Wien, spent over 30 years investigating his subject. His formidable research, with much information appearing here for the first time, combined with his engaging writing style, make this work much more than a standard catalogue raisonné., 'There was nothing small about [Paul] Landacre's vision,' writes Dana Gioia in his afterword to the two-volume catalogue raisonné of California's greatest wood engraver. 'Despite their modest dimensions, his best prints are monumental and perdurable.' The same might be said of this finely chiseled box set produced by Abbeville Press. Landacre (1893-1963) looked to the open spaces and open possibilities of the landscape of the American West and luxuriated in its sensuous forms. As researched and written by Jake Milgram Wien, with a foreword by John Bidwell, this definitive catalogue covers 350 works while also including entries on Landacre's preparatory studies. , Magisterial. . . Not only is this two-volume catalogue raisonné the finest and most comprehensive study of the artist; the book is so beautiful in its design, typography, and illustrations that it constitutes a work of art in itself., This set of volumes is as much a beautiful product of the book arts as it is an indispensable reference for anyone interested in the arts in California. The illustrations are exquisitely reproduced, the design respects the fine-press traditions referenced throughout, and the paper, binding and indeed all of the production values are, like the contents, a worthy tribute to Paul Landacre's art and life. This is what publishers should aspire to, but mostly will not, or cannot.

Synopsis
The long-awaited definitive work on master wood engraver Paul Landacre (1893-1963), a key figure of California modernism, With his virtuosic prints of rolling California hills, classically inspired nudes, and natural and manmade forms--from a seashell to his own printing press--Paul Landacre elevated wood engraving to a high art form in twentieth-century America. Landacre's ceaseless stylistic innovation placed his work in dialogue with California contemporaries like Edward Weston and Henrietta Shore; he was, in fact, central to an artistic milieu that has been described as a "small Renaissance, Southern California style." It is fitting, too, that the velvety blacks and dazzling whites of Landacre's prints can recall the images of the silver screen--for the artist's rustic bungalow on a Los Angeles hill was but a stone's throw from Hollywood, and his early patrons and supporters included such luminaries as the director Delmer Daves and the actress Kay Francis. This handsome two-volume set, illustrated with generously sized, high-quality reproductions, offers a definitive catalogue not only of Landacre's individual wood engravings but also of his early linocuts, his celebrated book illustrations, and his experimental works in other media, including painting, drawing, and lithography. Yet this is much more than a catalogue raisonné--the fruit of more than thirty years of research, it brings to life the bohemian world in which the artist lived, and the rich cultural and artistic context of his work. Landacre's prints are already prized by curators and collectors; this landmark publication will give him his rightful place in the firmament of American art.
