This is a large, rare unpublished work by the artist. Eric Gill was a painter, sculptor, typeface designer and printmaker associated with the Arts and Crafts movement in England. He was one of the greatest and most influential wood engravers of the 20th century. His work is dominated by two overriding themes, religion and eroticism. A true artist-craftsman, Eric Gill established a community at Ditchling in Sussex where he practiced sculpture, wood engraving, and founded the St. Dominic’s Press. He designed the Gill Sans typeface in 1927–30, based on the sans-serif lettering originally designed for the London Underground. The elegant typeface is still used today.

  • 'The Rabbit' original woodcut engraving by Clarice George Logan
    By Clarice George Logan
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    In 'The Rabbit,' Wisconsin artist Clarice George Logan presents the viewer with a multi-figural scene: under a wood-frame structure, four children crouch on the ground, gathered around a young woman who presents a rabbit. Under normal circumstances, such an image of children with a bunny would recall childhood storybooks. In this case, however, the image is more ambiguous and suggests the unfortunate economic circumstances many children suffered during the interwar years. Nonetheless, the group could also be interpreted as a nativity play, with the rabbit taking the place of the Christ child, shining light on the children like in a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Correggio. The careful line-work of the woodblock engraving adds a sense of expressionism to the scene, leaving the figures looking distraught and dirty, though the image nonetheless falls into the Social Realist category that dominated American artists during the Great Depression. This print was published in 1936 as part of the Wisconsin Artists' Calendar for the year 1937, which included 52 original, hand-made prints - one for each week of the year. Clarice George Logan was born in Mayville, New York in 1909 but moved to Wisconsin in 1921. She attended the Milwaukee State Teachers College from 1927 to 1931 where she studied with Robert von...
