| Gallery label | As a committed political campaigner, Piech made linocut posters incorporating words that expressed his humanitarian ideals and drew attention to injustice. This example, created from two blocks, is typical of the bold, expressive quality of his linocut imagery and lettering. For the latter, Piech often drew a rough guide onto the linoblock and then cut the lettering free-hand but in reverse.(August 2019) |
