The Print Show: Artist Printmakers 1800-1975

Lovely exhibition at the Fine Art Society of prints from the 19th and 20th century.

This show felt like name the artist and there they were! The earliest was a rare William Blake of Chaucer’s pilgrim before alterations and printed for Blake himself on thin paper as a proof copy.  There were some Frank Auerbach nudes which I’d seen at Pallant House and lots of Sickerts!

I loved the pictures of horses working in London by Robert Bevan one of the Camden Town Group which were so like his paintings. Also a great print by Stanley Spencer of “The Marriage of Cana”. I’m not sure I’d seen a print by Spencer before.

My favourites were two pictures of the view from a window in Dieppe by C.R.W. Nevinson, one of the harbour and one of a woman looking out at the view.
