Tools accompanying The Art and Craft of Lino Cutting and Printing by Claude Flight
Claude Flight British
Not on view
Flight wrote two manuals and numerous articles on the linocut technique and why linocut was an ideal technique with which to create dynamic images of contemporary life. Linoleum—machine-made, inexpensive, new to fine art, and readily available—exemplified Flight’s belief in democratizing art production. Although tools were sold for linocutting, amateur artists of all ages could make linocuts in their homes, with materials at hand (such as a knife or an umbrella rib, and a sheet of soft linoleum) and without the expertise and expense of professional printers.
