Description

A vibrant collection of linocuts by the influential Modern British printmakers of the Grosvenor School of Art. Founded in 1925, the school played a pivotal role in shaping modern British printmaking between the wars. The artists associated with the school brought their own unique interpretation to the medium of linocut, incorporating avant-garde values and styles such as Cubism, Futurism, and Vorticism. Their work is still strikingly familiar today, and it can be found in the collections of major museums around the world, including the British Museum, MoMA in New York, and Australian National Gallery. This catalogue features over 120 linocuts, drawings, and posters by Grosvenor School artists, showcasing their dynamic and rhythmic visual imagery. For the first time, it includes works by three Australian printmakers who played a significant part in the school's story.
