His works often reflect his views on his travels to Holland, India, Japan, Hawaii and other locations in southeast asia. This book is a great resource for his woodblock prints, etchings, and paintings. Bartlett is a true inspiration to Western artists inspired by the woodblock printmaking tradition.
