A self-taught printmaker, California artist Paul Landacre (1893–1963) created wood engravings of hillsides, coastal vistas, and human figures that reflect an intense engagement with light, place, and structure—rendered in dramatic black and white. His prints, published in limited editions and often hand-inked by the artist, were exhibited widely during the 1930s and 1940s, earning recognition from the National Academy of Design as well as major museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Library of Congress, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Prized for their uniquely American synthesis of discipline and lyricism, his engravings have come to define the California Modernist print movement.
