Yesterday whilst having a look through Readings book shop in Lygon Street I found a fantastic book about American artist/illustrator Barry Moser (biography here). Never before had I heard of him or seen his beautiful art works! I am a big fan of wood engravings and lino prints and also portraits, so naturally my eyes were dazzled by his very textural and highly contrasting work. Here is an interview with Barry Moser here. 'Self Portrait with a Stetson' 'Jonah and the Whale' 'Flannery O'Connor' (this is my favourite) 'Kathe Kollwitz' 'William Blake' 'Eudora Welty' 'Moby Dick' illustration for Arion Press 'Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum' The book which caught my eye... And here are some examples of his work....

The stunning picture book collaboration between newbery medalwinning author patricia maclachlan and acclaimed illustrator barry moser. a young girl comes to terms with the fact that she and her family are leaving the prairie. as she talks herself into acceptance, her mama helps her let go, commenting that the baby will need someone to tell him where he came from. so the girl gathers mementosa bag of earth and a piece of cottonwood tree. as with sarah, plain and tall, the subtext vibrates. so much is told in each perfectly chosen phrase. the story is deep and specific, but the pain and denial of a child leaving a known and loved place is all too universal. mosers finely-wrought engravings, enhanced by moody tints, record the departure.school library journal 1995 american bookseller association pick of the lists.

From its first magnificent sentence, "In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing", to the last, "I am haunted by waters", A River Runs Through It is an American classic. Based on Norman Maclean's childhood experiences, A River Runs Through It has established itself as one of the most moving stories of our time; it captivates readers with vivid descriptions of life along Montana's Big Blackfoot River and its near magical blend of fly fishing with the troubling affections of the heart. This handsome edition is designed and illustrated by Barry Moser. There are thirteen two-color wood engravings. "A masterpiece...This is more than stunning fiction: It is a lyric record of a time and a life, shining with Maclean's special gift for calling the reader's attention to arts of all kinds--the arts that work in nature, in personality, in social intercourse, in fly-fishing."--Kenneth M. Pierce, Village Voice Norman Maclean (1902-90), woodsman, scholar, teacher, and storyteller, grew up in the Western Rocky Mountains of Montana and worked for many years in logging camps and for the United States Forestry Service before beginning his academic career. He retired from the University of Chicago in 1973.
