THE
SPICE OF LIFE
 A Variety of prints from the 15th – 21st centuries
This
year’s winter offering includes pioneers,
rarities, oddities, and a wide variety of other delights.
It
ranges from a Dürer woodcut illustration to the
Apocalypse, revolutionary in its scale in 1497; through
a selection of Hollar’s miniature etchings in
his new ‘genre’ of female fashions; a sheet
for Saftleven’s large, etched, excessively rare
1669 panorama of Utrecht; and Thomas Shotter Boys’ 1839
anticipation of artists’ original colour lithography;
to Anne Desmet’s progressive six wood-engraved ‘Snapshots’ of
St Paul’s, 2002.
A
small collection of German prints from the end of
the 19th and early years of the 20th centuries are
powerful uncompromising portrayals, monumental in
size and presence, even ‘challenging’ in
today’s art parlance
and appropriately in the anniversary year of his birth
include an over-life size portrait of Charles Darwin.
 In
addition to the colour lithographs of T.S. Boys there
are coincidentally other views of the city of Rouen
by Camille Pissarro, Hedley Fitton and the Scottish
etcher William Walker, each very different in character.
Other
sub-themes to emerge are music, animals and Grosvenor
School colour linocuts by obscure ladies.
There
are interesting groups of etchings by Laura Knight
(including her very rare first etching), Ernest Heber
Thompson, Walid Abu Shakra (a contemporary Arab Israeli
printmaker) and Irena Makoveeva (a contemporary Russian
artist).
