About This Item
Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1999. xii., 290 pages, 6 colour plates, 143 b/w illustrations, bibliography. Signed by author to title page. Minor wear, unmarked, some rubbing, edgewear to dustjacket. Universally acclaimed as one of the finest etchers of his time. Most of his subjects are architectural; some show actual places, while others are constructed from a rich arts-and-crafts imaginaton. Hitherto a largely unrecognized figure in British romantic art, Griggs' work links that of Turner, Blake and Samuel Palmer with the Neo-Romantics Graham Sutherland and John Piper. Griggs was one of the first etchers elected to full membership of the Royal Academy. He was a leading member of the Art Workers' Guild, and was elected its Master in 1934 in succession to the foremost British architect of his generation, Sir Edwin Lutyens. [789]. Signed by Author. First Edition. Red Cloth, Gilt. Very Good/Very Good. 255mm. x 255mm.. Book.
