Woodblock Printmaking by Zhu Rui      You must see this!

Woodblock Printmaking by Zhu Rui

Chinese printmaker Zhu Rui, born 1970, demonstrates how he makes a woodblock print. This is our first video from China showing a contemporary artist at work. Especially interesting because you can see the specific Chinese tradition of printing which is slightly different from the Japanese method. BTW, compare this video with the images of Zhu Rui in his Studio!.

I have seen it over and over again, and I love this video. - Dieter
