Description
The Radical Print: A New Perspective on Late Eighteenth-century Britain's Most Innovative Art Form In this groundbreaking study, Esther Chadwick explores the intersection of printmaking and radical politics in late eighteenth-century Britain. By bringing together five key artists - James Barry, John Hamilton Mortimer, James Gillray, Thomas Bewick, and William Blake - Chadwick reveals how the print medium responded to the tumultuous events of the time. From the experimental aquatints of James Barry to the visionary engravings of William Blake, Chadwick demonstrates how printmaking provided artists with a unique platform for engaging with the major political issues of their age. This book assembles a rich array of material, including both well-known prints and unpublished ephemera, to shed new light on the dynamic role of print in one of Britain's most turbulent periods. Distributed for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art.
