Masters of Wood Sculpture

From dust jacket notes: "...Masters of Wood Sculpture is an inspiring book. Here one encounters every conceivable method of sculpting in wood, beginning with a survey of the great masterworks produced by every age and culture. Following this historical portfolio are three contemporary ones, presenting stunning works by today's masters of wood sculpture. But what is unique about this book? It allows us to enter the studios of 12 master sculptors as they each create a single work. Walter Driesbach (The Figure), David Hostetler (The Torso), Peter Boiger (The Abstract Figure), Henry Moore (The Monumental Figure), and Nicholas Roukes (Bas-Relief) each demonstrate their own approach to direct carving. The next series of demonstrations focuses on construction and lamination, featuring Wolfgang Behl (The Figure Group), Fumio Yoshimura (Bentwood Lamination), Peter Robbie (Lamination and Carving), Raymond Sells (Lamination with Plywood), and Carroll Barnes (The Sliding Lamination). The final demonstrations by Haydn Davies (Art in Architecture) and Michael Cooper (Wood Wizardry) take us across the boundaries of technique. 192 pages. 9 x 12 (23 x 30 cm). 246 black-and-white illustrations. Bibliography. Index."
