Woodcuts
Wilhelm Webels carved a total of 14 wood blocks (matrices) in order to
produce prints.
These woodcut prints are limited in number and each one was signed
personally by the artist.
The last woodcut print he made: “Children with kite ” has been printed in 4
colours, rather a rarity in the art world.

Woodcut is a relief printing technique in printmaking. An artist carves an image into the
surface of a block of wood, typically with gourges , leaving the printing parts level with the
surface while removing the non-printing parts .
Areas that the artist cuts away carry no ink, while characters or images at surface level
carry the ink to produce the print.
Woodcut prints are produced by pressing the selected medium (usually paper) onto the
inked image.
