Artist: JOHN BRUNSDON

Title: 'BREEZE I' (signed etching with aquatint - unframed)

Description:  John Brunsdon RE, ARCA (born 1933) is widely acknowledged as being one of Britain's finest contemporary printmakers. His work is held in many public collections, including the Tate Gallery, Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Brunsdon's earlier works of the 1960s were markedly abstract in form and were influenced by the American abstract expressionists.  To use his own words his prints from this period 'evoke an inner world and spiritual awakening'.  These early works are now scarce and are much collected.

We are pleased to offer 'Breeze I' a scarce original etching with aquatint which dates from 1967.  The print measures about 23.5 x 17.7 inches image size, 31 x 22.2 inches paper size, and has deckle edges and full margins. It is pencil signed, titled and numbered 15 of 50.  This work was published by Editions Alecto, who also sold another example to the Government Art Collection, and this one has the EA stamp verso and their number 492.

It is in good condition save for some tape residue to the reverse, three very small tears in the paper at the edge (well away from the image) and some light foxing in the margins, especially at the upper corners.  However the image itself is in lovely fresh condition, and the foxing mentioned will not be visible once the etching is mounted and framed...
