Dieter Grund is a well-known Canadian artist (born in Germany, educated in Canada and now residing there) whose work is in many important Canadian collections. He has chosen three poems by the well-known Canadian poet, Gwendolyn MacEwen. The three poems selected are from her 1982 publication, THE T. E. LAWRENCE POEMS. Grund has executed six mixed media relief prints which include stenciling and hand coloring. The Sabon type and relief prints were editioned by the artist at Presswork Editions. MacEwen's poetry is well served by Grund's imposing relief prints. (Inventory #: 3148)
