Nietzsche Broadside

Description

Nietzsche's ideas are still considered unconventional, thus not widely accepted. He knew he was ahead of his time.

To honor his thinking I produced this broadside with one of his most famous sayings: "Become who you are".

The big BE printed from a hand-carved linocut. Black text set by hand in antique wood type. The whole piece was printed one by one, by hand, on a vintage Vandercook press.

The old used wood type lends small variations in color and impression, which are a part of the appeal of this hands-on process. The gorgeous texture and impression that is characteristic of this nostalgic printing technique makes one want to stare at it all the time.

- Letterpress printed in a warm vermilion and opaque black.
- Mold-made Italian cotton paper, thick and luxuriously to the touch.
- Size: 10" x 20". Its elongated dimensions carefully chosen to hold the depth of the quote. It looks amazing when mounted and on the wall.

Limited edition: 50 signed copies.
