This book contains a series of comments upon the life and artistic development of Victor Hammer, the Austrian-born American painter, sculptor, printer, and typographer. Hammer left the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna in 1908. In 1922, he moved to Florence, Italy where he set up a printing press. Hammer moved his printing operation into the Villa Santuccio in Florence and named it the Stamperia del Santuccio. In 1939, Hammer fled the Nazis from Vienna, finally settling in Lexington, Kentucky where he served as artist-in-residence at Transylvania University until his retirement in 1953. In 1954, Hammer moved his wooden printing press to the University of Kentucky where it is used by the King Library Press since 1959. He and his second wife, Carolyn Reading Hammer (C. R. H.) were active in the life of the University of Kentucky's arts and library programs where they participated in the operation of the King Library Press.

Description
Osfildern: Hatje Cantz, 2006. A near-fine copy. 6.75 x 9.5 inches. 156 pages. Original printed boards. First edition. "The Dutch artist Marcel van Eeden has done a drawing a day for more than a decade, since 1993. Each one interprets photographs or text from before he was born in 1965, source material he gathers through a network of vintage book dealers, archives and libraries. His thousands of small-format works show people and places at once anachronistic and ready to spring to life at any moment; they make the time before his birth seem present in front of the viewer's eyes, as though through the looking glass into a period film. Van Eeden calls his life's work an "encyclopedia" of his death--he imagines a time before he existed in order to imagine a time after he is gone. This collection of approximately 140 of his virtuosic drawings describes a fictitious biography for K. M. Wiegand, who, history verifies, was actually a botanist" (the publisher).
