Artists\u2019 books are a type of artistic expression that uses the form or function of a book as inspiration. The book itself is the art, incorporating techniques from typography, design, printmaking, papermaking and bookbinding to bring an idea to life. The medium allows for a great amount of innovation and creativity on the part of an artist seeking to make a unique statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
