| Sir Henry Rushbury (1889–1968) is a forgotten treasure of 20th-century British art. Internationally renowned during his lifetime, Rushbury portrayed the landscapes, cities, and street life of Britain and Europe. He was a modern master of the ancient art of drypoint: with a few minute grooves and flecks cut in the surface of a copperplate, he conjured extraordinary effects of mood and atmosphere. This catalogue raisonné of Rushbury s prints offers the opportunity to rediscover and reassess this astonishing body of work. An introduction by art historian Felicity Owen and a biography by the artist s daughter make a compelling portrait of this superb printmaker. |
