Details: "
Chaotic Harmony” is a book by Gwen Frostic, an American artist, entrepreneur, author, and Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame inductee. Born as Sara Gwendolen Frostic on April 26, 1906, she spent her life in Michigan and is known for her naturalist linocut block print artwork created using Original Heidelberg Platten presses.
During her artistic journey, Frostic explored various mediums, including metal, plastic, and linoleum block carving. With the scarcity of metal during the war, she turned to linoleum block carving and eventually transformed it into stationery goods and prints. This led her to establish her own printing company, Presscraft Papers. In the early 1950s, she opened a shop in Frankfort, Michigan, where she sold her prints, books, and other items. In 1960, she purchased 40 acres of land in Benzonia, Michigan, with the intention of moving her shop there. On April 26, 1964, her new shop opened for business, and she lived there until her death in 2001.|
Chaotic Harmony captures the essence of Frostic's legacy, reflecting her communion with nature and natural processes through ethereal handmade block prints. It's celebration of her labor and creativity showcasing her unique artistic vision." Bing

About Us:
Rivendell Antiquarian Books sells used rare, vintage and collectable books predominantly from pre 1970. We have been sellers of antiquarian books for over 20 years, and our experience helps ensure quality descriptions of our rare and collectable books. Be assured that we want your experience with Rivendell Antiquarian Books to be enjoyable and problem free.
We believe that it is a travesty to simply throw away a used book when there is little or nothing wrong with it - we believe in giving each book the chance of finding a new home. We appreciate the impact a good book can have. We know the excitement of a new page turner, or the familiar joy of an old favorite, and we find satisfaction in putting older, and often scarce books in the hands of people who have the same love for old books that we do.
Customer Service:
Rivendell Antiquarian Books is committed to ensuring each customer is entirely satisfied with their puchase and our service. If you have any issues or concerns please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.
Our books have been inspected carefully by hand by experienced book valuers to ensure the condition description is as accurate as possible for this exact copy pictured. If you have questions about the book before or after purchasing, please feel free to contact us!
Packaging:
We take pride in packaging our books for safe delivery, and if you check our feedback, you will see this reflected in the comments of many pleased customers. For nearly all of our books, we use a specially designed boxing system from IPS (Inovative Packaging Solutions) located in York, PA. These media shipping boxes are designed to conform to the size of the book, securing it and preventing it from bumping around during shipping. The end result is a box which provides a double thickness of cardboard covering the front and back of the book; actually almost like a box within a box. The outer layer of cardboard extends beyond the ends of the inner "box" which very efficiently protects the corners of the book from being bumped and damaged by the sometimes rough handling packages receive in transit. In addition we place the book in a plastic bag to help guard against moisture if a package is left out in the elements.
