...with a somewhat less intelligible accent that mixes abstractionism and Eastern inscrutability. But even when the words are not understandable, Hasegawa's intent is clear: to convey peace, order and dignity through form and design. His favorite method: wood-block printing. He dips pieces of wood into Chinese ink, prints directly onto rice paper. The result, as in a four-paneled screen called The Harmonious, is a pleasing arrangement of black and grey rectangles. He uses color sparingly, feels that his black ink "is very colorful." Sometimes he brushes his prints with ink, as in Man and Celestial...
...brought from the fatherland to devise the system. With typical Rissian ingenuity, he planned a complex scheme which no one has since been able to figure out. It was reported, at the time, that Saradjeff himself forgot how the mechanism worked, took to fits, and was found drinking ink in the Lowell House Common Room. He was sent back to Russia...
...more than one hundred students were to sign up for. Outlandish 12 on their preliminary Study Cards, it would not be surprising. As usual, they would be using their imaginations about what courses are to be taught next Fall; there would be a little ink and some shoe leather wasted, and those who saw no sense in the whole idea would be fined...

Inky admits that, unlike Jerce, he is not much of a scholar - "the penalty for not sticking to my last from the first." He advises people...
...spent as much as six months on a single drawing, plying pen & ink as minutely as an embroiderer does needle and thread. By including endless details in her early works, she achieved great mastery of textural effects. Her most recent drawings are done in half the time and are even more effective. Now she can make a single smudge of graphite do what required 100 pen strokes a couple of years ago. But her major works still resemble tapestries as much as anything; they are not easy to place in a specific tradition...
