Kaplan, Stan, 1925-, World War, 1939-1945--Personal narratives, American,, Artists' books--United States
An autobiographical artists' book of words, prints, and text based on Kaplan's written memoir of his WWII army experiences, illuminating the idea that lines are written on a page and also separate armies, enclose prisons and keep people "in line."
"When I make a book with the intention that it should be a work of art, it becomes an Artists' Book. It is anew composition. Self-publishing allows me to control the printing process and when needed, work with the offset printer. I'm concerned with the quality of type, paper, size and rhythm of the total visual effect." (Stan Kaplan, preface (p. (9))
