Featured here are works by 21 distinguished artists such as David Hockney, Howard Hodgkin, Richard Hamilton, and R. B. Kitaj. As Pat Gilmour reveals in her illuminating essay, these and many other artists expanded and redefined British printmaking during the 1960s and 1970s. Also included are informative artists' biographies. There is an array of images created in a broad range of graphic media, by Britons and Americans working in Great Britain.
Based on the Roland-Geist collection, this volume represents major prints and dominant movements in a singularly lively period. What is more remarkable is that it also gathers atypical individualists who have always been an important feature of British life. It is this comprehensiveness which ensures Front Hockney to Hodgkin speaks of both range and eloquence in 20 momentous years of graphic art.
