Illustration corner - a Leonard Baskin special!

Leonard Baskin was a Jewish American artist who engraved, printed, sculpted, illustrated: you name it he did it. And he did it well! He's one of my favourit print makers ever, I love his style; I first came across him when I was studying comparative literature and was looking at the war art/prints of Otto Dix, and I found one of his Holocaust prints (see below) which was perfectly desolate. Having said that his bird-man type prints are my favourite, and the new image (Indian head with Bird Hat) in Illustration corner is courtesy of him.
