AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Masereel
The definitive reference work, published three years after the death of this Belgian painter, engraver and illustrator, born in 1899. The text is illustrated by 518 woodcuts made by Frans Masereel.
Author: Roger Avermaete
Publisher: Mercatorfonds, 1975, first edition, linen binding with cloth dust jacket and slipcase, Dutch language
The frontispiece is a woodcut (self-portrait) executed for the postal service for the issue of a postage stamp in 1972. Condition is very good. Magnificent book.
Frans Masereel (1899-1972) is considered the inventor of the modern wordless graphic novel. As a close friend of Stefan Zweig, Romain Rolland, and George Grosz, he knew how to move people with his socially engaged black-and-white works. He defended the oppressed and exposed the horrors of the First World War. Masereel has influenced many graphic designers and illustrators.
