B4028. 100 New York Calligraphers by Cynthia Maris Dantzic. 2015. 238pp. 9"x12". Hardcover $50.00. SALE $42.23. Free media mail shipping (USA only). Encompassing a wide range of calligraphy in many languages and hands or styles, this book presents a visual treasury of works by 100 contemporary scribes, all of whom were either born in New York or studied or worked in the city. From English and its related Romance languages to a wide range of Asian and Middle Eastern alphabets and non-alphabetic characters, the more than 550 examples of beautiful writing create a rich visual smorgasbord. Traditional uses of hand-lettered calligraphy are shown, including event invitations and envelopes, certificates and awards, and quotes and sayings framed as artwork.

All are hand-wrought and human-made, using pointed or broad-edged pens, whether or steel, or a brush or other simple tool.

Includes calligraphy and lettering – artworks, personal work, experimental work, commissioned work – as well as graphic work and type design. His body of work spans paper to stone, books to walls, hand-lettering to type and the digital realm. In the text, John presents his approach to a design or work and his thoughts on letterforms, and continues with a discussion on tools, teaching, design, and writing in general. Using his body of work as example, he makes the case that divisions between fine arts and graphic arts are mostly irrelevant. APR39. Stevens Quick Dog Apron. See page 19.
