The creation of the 50 floral patterns in this book have been inspired by nature and derived from floral motifs, plinths, and mandalas. The detailed interlocking repeating patterns range from moderate to very intricate, and are best suited for intermediate to advanced level colorists. Most are quite challenging in the degree of detail and intricacy, and will provide hours of rewarding coloring enjoyment and pleasure. The designs combine the beauty of nature with the hypnotic appeal of mandalas and tile patterns. These inspiring works of art are designed to stimulate the imaginations of colorists. The detailed line images offer a wealth of variety and the coloring possibilities are endless. We hope you enjoy them as much as we are thrilled to present them to you.

Philip Hofer, who founded the Department of Printing and Graphic Arts in the Houghton Library, was a curator and collector of great zeal and singular taste. In this exhibition catalogue his successor, Eleanor Garvey, explores the rich legacy Hofer bequeathed to Harvard: extraordinary manuscripts, writing manuals, illustrated books, and examples of fine and unusual printing. The objects of Hofer's fancy constitute a teaching collection and a scholarly resource of the highest kind. They also justify the reputation he earned over a long and unique career as the "Prince of the Eye."

A representation of the principle styles and themes that emerges from Harry Bertoia's printmaking and structure work.

Winner of the 2019 SECAC Award for Excellence in Scholarly Research and Publication In The Riddle of Jael, Peter Scott Brown offers the first history of the Biblical heroine Jael in medieval and Renaissance art. Jael, who betrayed and killed the tyrant Sisera in the Book of Judges by hammering a tent peg through his brain as he slept under her care, was a blessed murderess and an especially fertile moral paradox in the art of the early modern period. Jael's representations offer insights into key religious, intellectual, and social developments in late medieval and early modern society. They reflect the influence on art of exegesis, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, humanism and moral philosophy, misogyny and the battle of the sexes, the emergence of syphilis, and the Renaissance ideal of the artist.

The book "Growing the Fantastic Garden 2013" explains the process and depicts images of making a collaborative woodcut print by 92 international artists.

The resulting four-panel print measures 60 x 44 inches and encompasses a large garden image composed of 92 puzzle-like pieces, each unique as the artist who design it.

Briefly, a Monumental Puzzle Print is a large design composed of "puzzle pieces," each of which is designed and carved as a relief or woodcut by a unique artist under a common theme.

Woodcut prints are made by carving a block of wood in relief, inking the relief (such as a stamp) and applying paper and pressure to obtain an imprint of the carving.

In this fourth collaborative woodcut print, the project director, Maria Arango Diener designed and sawed a wood block into puzzle-like pieces, then sent the pieces to participant artists; they carved their own little design under the theme Fantastic Garden and sent the puzzle piece back to the director.

The Master Gardener and Project Director proceeded to assemble the carved puzzle pieces. The entire design was inked and printed as a woodcut print after the puzzle was reassembled and finally each participant received a huge print encompassing the entire design.

The book "Growing the Fantastic Garden 2013" contains all the individual images with artist names and locations, the composite panels, studio pictures and explanation of the woodcut print process as well as notes on the collaboration process, information on the design and brief history of previous projects, artist's comments on their own images, individual block and print photos of each artist's contribution, gardening quotes and the birth of the garden among the dog trails and much more.

The author and artist project director, Maria Arango Diener has led four such projects and is already planning the next.
