Frans Masereel, the Belgian woodcut artist, is one of these whose departure we should mourn.
Masereel is chiefly known today among bibliophiles as the pioneer of a genre of book called the "woodcut novel" or the "novel without words." These "novels" are made of a series of woodcuts, one to a page, without captions or word balloons, strung together in a narrative sequence.
Masereel was initially engaged to collaborate with Bartosch, but when he found how tedious and painstaking the work of animation was, he bowed out, giving Bartosch free reign in his adaptation.

 Krakow | News | Frans Masereel Exhibition
Frans Masereel is known, like Wladyslaw Skoczylas in Polish art - as the creator of modern Belgian woodcut.
Among the works that did most to draw him to the attention of public opinion were his illustrations for La Feuille, which were especially spontaneous and sharp in their expression.
His simplified and geometrised shapes, their changing rhythm, strong contrasts between whites and fls, and surprising compositions are central to the expression of Masereel's woodcuts.

Frans Massereel, 'the greatest Flemish graphic artist', was born in Blankenberge in 1889.

 ARTS LIBRARY @ YALE
The woodcuts of Frans Masereel, born in 1889 in Blankenberghe on the Belgian coast, should certainly be placed in the lineage of Schongauer and Durer, who first exploited brilliantly the graphic and narrative resources of xylography.
However resolute their modernity, the woodcuts of Masereel should thus be understood as part of a long tradition.
Technical simplicity paid off for Masereel and the art of this period, and this is the major lesson of the Flemish artist who, from a simple and archaic process managed to elaborate a complex, dense, modern, and in many ways exemplary production.

 Amazon.com: Passionate Journey: Books: Frans Masereel
Masereel's Passionate Journey occurs entirely in his series of 165 woodcuts, rather like a fl-and-white movie, as Thomas Marm explains in his introduction, written in 1926.
Each of the woodcuts centers on a young man who we may as well think of as Masereel himself, who was in his early thirties when he cut this novel.
The young man is shown in a variety of situations, and a highly romantic account of Masereel's spiritual development emerges.
