Description: Ben Shahn, Love and Joy About Letters, 1963 1st Edition, Grossman Publishers. Love and Joy About Letters is a testament … more Ben Shahn, Love and Joy About Letters, 1963 1st Edition, Grossman Publishers. Love and Joy About Letters is a testament to Ben Shahn’s love affair with letters: the beauty of the letter forms, the liberating influence hand-lettering, and how the incorporation of letters added meaning to his art.

The book features many examples of Shahn’s deployment of letters as an expressive device. From the book: "I discovered the Roman alphabet in all its elegance and its austere dignity, and I fell in love all over again with letters… Letters are quantities, and spaces are quantities, and only the eye and the hand can measure them. As in the ear and the sensibilities of the poet sounds and syllables and pauses are quantities, so in both cases are the balancing and forward movement of these quantities only a matter of skill and feeling and art." less
