Every Monday on Global Comment, we share Something Special you don’t want to miss. To fit with the six core pillars of the magazine, these will alternate between the themes of watch / listen / read / see / taste / place.
It will be something different every week, but it will always be about something worth seeing, hearing or watching, or a place worth visiting or a food worth tasting.
This week, see the wonderful 1924 artwork The Witch by Sir Lionel Lindsay. It is a wood engraving on paper, made – according to the Archaeology & Art Instagram account, in a fascinating way:
“Instead of drawing with a black pen on white paper, the artist carved a wood block to reveal the light. The cat’s black form is actually the largely uncarved (raised) surface of the block; Lindsay sculpted the cat out of the darkness like a statue by carving the highlights and the fine lines that create the fur’s texture.”
