Description
In the early 1960s William Wolff found his artistic direction, creating woodcut prints, that he continued making the rest of his life. ArtZone is pleased to present its first exhibition of William Wolff prints (mainly woodcuts), several of which are in the permanent collections of many prominent museums throughout the United States.

Wolff spent his whole life making art. Initially he studied at the California School of Fine Arts (later San Francisco Art Institute) in the early 1940s. After serving in the Army in World War II he returned to his fine art studies. He received a BFA and then an MFA in 1951 from the University of California-Berkeley. In the summer of 1950, at Mills College, he studied with German painter Max Beckman whose powerful personality left an indelible stamp on Wolff.
