Hardlines

If you thought the woodchipper in FARGO was memorable, take a look at the linocuts in HARDLINES masterminded by that master of black and white, Richard Mock while hiding out in Fargo and infecting the younger generation there with the ability not to see in shades of gray but the start reality of night and day.

Highly Recommended

As a visiting artist in Fargo, North Dakota, Richard Mock, within a few weeks of workshops, was somehow able to liberate the astonishing talent on display here. The work of schoolchildren, Hardlines is full of hard-hitting images of originality and insight. I doubt you'll find a better book of visual inspiration for yourself, your children or your school.

Powerful Art by Children.

Looking at the powerful, direct images in this book is like seeing into the minds of the kids who made them. Their concerns over issues like pollution, greed and fairness come across with unfiltered, startling force--and beauty. Artist/teacher Richard Mock knows how to offer up printmaking tools that give his students the confidence and skills to make their messages clear. This is a marvelous book for all people--big and small--who care about art and the world we live in.
