About this work

This is a peach-colored cover with a small, centered collage. The collage looks like cut-out letters and shapes glued together. The text reads *"Walter Helbig 16 Holzschnitte"* in bold, uneven blocks. The title page of a book of woodcuts—this is just one piece from a set of 16. The rough edges and layered textures make it look handmade. Next, check out woodcut to see how artists carve images into wood.
