More than 100 lithographs, etchings, woodcuts and linocuts, range from radical geometric abstractions to forceful impressions of the first fully mechanized war and colourful Jazz Age images of sports, speed trials, and other contemporary events.
The book focuses in particular on the well-known dynamic imagery of C. R. W. Nevinson, Paul Nash, Edward Wadsworth and David Bomberg (early followers of Italian Futurism and British Vorticism) and also the works of Claude Flight, Sybil Andrews, Cyril Power and Lill Tschudi.
Clifford S. Ackley’s introduction takes stock of the art historical movement and is followed by lively, thematic discussions of the prints, an overview of the history and technique of the modern linocut, and short biographies of the artists.
Clifford S. Ackley is Curator of Prints, Drawings and Photography at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
