About This Book

An illustrated critical study and appreciation of a major painter, combining colour reproductions, reproductions made by the author, and analytical essays that survey paintings and etchings. Prefatory remarks describe a devised colour-printing process intended to capture original glazes and tonal values, and close-looking copies reveal a two-stage technique of monochrome underpainting followed by rich transparent glazes. Chapters examine individual plates, etchings, and epochs in the artist's career, offering technical observations, compositional commentary, and interpretive notes alongside a sequence of plates produced at the Menpes Press for both connoisseurs and general readers.
