Leonard Baskin

As a young artist, Leonard befriended me, giving me a space to work and tools that he himself used. At the time, he was creating drawings and managing press quality of his series of books of Shakespeare. The books were oversized, hand made with exceptional craftsmanship. Prior to working with Leonard, I was introduced to Leonard's work by my high school www.facebook.com teacher when I was 16 years old. The book that impressed me and changed my life with art was entitled 'ARS ANATOMICAL'. The book was a portfolio of his earliest ink art work. I do not have a copy and only wish to revisit the work that changed my perspective of other people around me and altered my life on many levels. I have a Face Book page simply entitled 'Leonard'. It was created for the sole reason of introducing his work to others. With snippets of my personal relationship with him and those around him. 'ARS ANTOMICAL' continues to resonate within my heart, head and soul. I would wish to see other books that he has created. Thank you, Paulz.
