A Century of Prints in Britain

Jill Constantine,Julia Beaumont-Jones

Prints in Britain is a highly illustrated volume that presents a substantial selection of key works of printmaking made in Britain. Using the Arts Council Collection as a platform, Prints in Britain spans a broad selection of styles and movements and represents the wealth of print works in the collection, from the geometric lines of Kenneth Martin and the striking graphics of Michael Craig-Martin to the arresting and abstract work of Howard Hodgkin. This attractive and accessible compendium of highlights includes an essay by Julia Beaumont-Jones, who gives an informative overview of the development and significance of the medium. Featuring over 250 works taken from the collection, Prints in Britain provides a long-overdue, affordable and engaging selection featuring masters of the medium alongside lesser-known practitioners. Artists represented include Patrick Caulfield, Peter Blake, Paula Rego, Ralph Steadman, Chris Ofili, Gary Hume, Bridget Riley, John Minton, Francis Hoyland, Patrick Hughes, William Tucker, Rachael Whiteread, Antony Gormley, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Helen Chadwick, John Minton, Joe Tilson, Henry Moore and many more.
