With Arete we really wanted to give the best contemporary artists the opportunity to use very old print techniques, along with working with the most famous Fine Artists a chance to use very modern digital productions. The result has delighted us! As the log jam of the last year starts to dissipate, we are about to finalise a new book that we have been proofing for months; Dave McKean’s visualisation of a classic short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald; The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. This book is rich with Dave’s letterpress relief prints! An art book with tactile three colour letterpress prints. As Rich Tong develops the bindings, I thought I’d start to show some of Dave’s terrific interpretations of Benjamin Button.
