[0-88984-079-2] 1986. (Hardcover) Very good plus in very good plus dust jacket. np. Illustrations. The dust jacket is lightly edgeworn and rubbed with a shallow chip to the bottom of the back panel. "Brender a Brandis's landscapes are small enough, but an engraving of a snail's whorled shell or a mouse may be as tiny as a postage stamp. His sensibility as an artist is reminiscent of the Hawthorne story, 'The Artist of the Beautiful,' in which a watchmaker finds beauty in smallness and abhors the enormity and power of modern industrialism. As an art student at McMaster University, Brender a Brandis hated having to paint huge abstract canvases. An offhand comment from his instructor led him to attempt his first wood engraving, a minute portrait of a frond. His instructor took one look and sneered, 'So you want to be a little Dutch master, do you?'". Locale: Canada.
