After World War I, the US was flooded with newspapers, magazines, radio stations and movies. Many feared serious books would disappear altogether. The concern caused a boom in fine editions, valued for beauty, craftsmanship or rarity, rather than content, and this is their story.
Excerpt from Mallette Dean, Artist and Printer: An Interview Conducted by Ruth Teiser Mallette Dean is a versatile artist and craftsman whose works range from murals to wine labels. From furniture to book illustrations, from fine arts prints to printed books. Although this interview largely concerns his book illustra tions and printing. It also includes discussion of the whole span of his accomplishments. Many of his talents have contributed to his work as a creator of fine books. Yet he remains primarily an artist and. As he states. I like a book in which the artist has had a heavy hand. Born in Spokane. Washington, on March 9. 1907, Mallette Dean came to California to study art, then emerged into the world of the Depression. Like many another young artist of his time. He gained valuable experience in federally financed art projects. Then turned his hand ingeniously to many kinds of work through the necessity for making a living. He won a coveted art prize and was privately commissioned to paint a mural. He also designed and built furniture and made Christmas cards. He came to know printing through the Grabhorn Press. For which he made decorations and illustra tions. His recollections and analyses of that distinguished printing enterprise are of particular interest.
