"Subtitled 'A Graphic Commentary on the Danse Macabre Through the Centuries', this provocative volume is also a Dance of Death for modern times. In a suite of seventeen of his own startling woodblocks, Fritz Eichenberg follows an artistic tradition that extends unbroken back to the Middle Ages and the Black Death...In his woodblocks, and in accompanying poems, Eichenberg addresses seventeen of mankind's most inflammatory social and political issues- as only an artist of his stature could deal with them." -- from dust-jacket.
