Description: Wolff, William; and Hoyem, Andrew. STRANGER. [San Francisco, CA: San Francisco Arts Festival, 1964]. A powerful 20 inch high by 13 inch wide broadside on fine white paper with Andrew Hoyem's 16-line poem handsomely printed in grayish olive at the top left of the bold evocative woodcut by William Wolff. The image simply, yet powerfully, depicts the dark stranger, walking stick in hand, attired in a simple white tunic. Signed in ink by the poet Andrew Hoyem and in pencil by the artist William Wolff along the bottom. There is some very minor foxing along the edges and a little light dampstaining to the bottom edge which touches on the artist's bold signature without affecting its legibility. Good. First edition. Born in 1922, William Wolff (1922-2004) is known for his powerful woodcuts depicting literary and mythological subjects. His style was highly influenced by German artist Max Beckmann with whom he studied while at Mills College. A past president of the California Society of Printmakers he worked for 3 decades at San Francisco's co-operative Graphic Arts Workshop. His prints are represented in the collections of the Whitney, the New York Public Library, the Oakland Museum of California, and the Library of Congress, among others.
