Paul Hambleton Landacre (July 9, 1893, Columbus, Ohio - June 3, 1963, Los Angeles, California) participated in the Southern California artistic Renaissance between the world wars and is regarded as one of the outstanding printmakers of the modern era.
His stylistic innovations and technical virtuosity gained wood engraving a foothold as an art form in twentieth-century America.
Landacre's linocuts and wood engravings of landscapes, still lifes, nudes, and abstractions are marked for their design and mastery of material.
He used the finest inks and Japanese papers and, with a few exceptions, printed his wood engravings on a nineteenth-century Washington Hand Press, which is now in the collection of the International Printing Museum in Carson, California.
