MOSER, Barry. Leonard Baskin, 1922-2000. [N.p.]: Barbarian Press, 2000. 8vo, original printed wrappers. One of 150 copies with a signed wood-engraved frontispiece by Moser.

Barry Moser began to admire Baskin’s work as a college student. He was particularly struck by Baskin’s wood engravings, which inspired him to try the medium for himself. Although Moser never had specific lessons from Baskin on wood engraving, he called Baskin “a huge influence on me. A powerful influence that was difficult to get out from under.”

Property from the Collection of Mr. Barry Moser
