From the publisher

"Internationally known as the leading American woodcut artist, Antonio Frasconi has chosen this stunning "one-man exhibition" to represent the full range of his work."

Frasconi is awesome. This book was truly a no expense spared operation when it came out, with massive, bright reproductions of Frasconi's poignant works. It's really something to behold, and frankly, few artists today could make woodcut seem as laden with possibilities as Frasconi.
