A wood engraving by John DePol
Everything and anything to do with the remarkable wood engraver John DePol is the subject of this website. As far as we're concerned, Mr. DePol is a living American treasure. In his 85th year, John is keenly interested in the world of art and literature, and continues to create wood-engraved images of great beauty and serenity, principally for limited edition, hand-printed books. He lives in New Jersey with his friend and wife, Thelma.

Eleanor Friedl has written a terrific catalog to accompany the exhibition, "John DePol: Etchings, New York and Europe, 1935-1947." This exhibition was on display through March 14, 1997 at the Florham-Madison Campus Library of Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, New Jersey. The catalog celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the artist's etching period.
