Fifty-one blocks of linden wood were carved by Shunzo Matsuda for Chuck Close’s LESLIE. Traditionally, craftsmen were skilled in either printing or carving, and though our printer Tadashi Toda would sometimes carve changes in the blocks when working with an artist, the major carving was done in advance by a master carver.
