"Easily followed directions are given in this graphically beautiful, comprehensive guide to the very old art of making silhouettes and cutouts. Beginning and advanced students will be inspired by the designs shown here, creatively expanding the skills illustrated to produce ingenious motifs with inexpensive, easily obtained materials. Norman Laliberté's own cutout designs, produced especially for this book provide instruction and inspiration for the home studio and classroom alike. Techniques and uses throughout the ages are shown in a wide display of silhouettes from historical sources -- handbills and illustrations from the 18th century, shadow play reproductions from the Far East and Europe, a step-by-=step demonstration of an intricate Polish folk design. Throughout the book, through example and descriptive text, the virtually unlimited, uncomplicated possibilities of this simple art form are realistically apparent..."" - Silhouettes, Shadows and Cutouts - Norman Laliberté and Alex Mogelon Published 1968, Art Horizons / Reinhold Book Corporation, New York Hardcover.
