5.0 out of 5 stars
perfect cafe reading to inspire napkin doodling,
By A Customer
This review is from: The City (Paperback)
This pocket size book of woodcuts first published in the 1920's seems remarkably contemporary in its perception of cities, capturing in black and white the crowding, pollution, corruption, poverty, greed, lust, and good times that were as much a part of the urban landscape back then as they are today. New York artist Eric Drooker's work (Flood!, Allen Ginsberg's Illuminated Poems) often reflects Masereel's sensibility, both in its blocky look and subject matter. All the best books are out of print but this one is definitely worth tracking down. Good luck.

Glorious views of the European city,
This review is from: The City (Paperback)
An incredible record of life in Paris, Berlin, and Geneva between the World Wars. Magnificent woodblocks by Belgian artist, a contemporary of Kathe Kollwitz and George Grosz, who fled the Nazis on a 300 mile trek through France, was honored in China, as well as in Europe, and remained a strong supporter of the European youth movement until his death in 1972.
