"British Prints from the Machine Age examines the impact of avant-garde Continental influences on British printmaking in the years stretching from the First World War to the outbreak of the Second. Highlighting works by thirteen artists, it focuses in particular on the dynamic imagery of C. R. W. Nevinson, Paul Nash, Edward Wadsworth and David Bomberg [early followers of Italian Futurism and British Vorticism] and on the works of Claude Flight, Sybil Andrews, Cyril Power and Lill Tschudi, all artists associated with the Grosvenor School." "The book features more than one hundred lithographs, etchings, woodcuts and linocuts, ranging from radical geometric abstractions to forceful impressions of the first fully mechanized war and colourful Jazz Age images of sporting events, speed trials, and other contemporary diversions."--BOOK JACKET.

The book then provides copious illustrations of the colour linocuts promoted by Claude Flight, and taken up by Andrews, Power and Lill Tschudi (who trained at the Grosvenor School in London before returning to Switzerland). These sections of the catalogue are grouped thematically, rather than chronologically, which makes it difficult to see whether techniques are developed. The colour illustrations of Andrews and Power complement Uglow’s joint biography, and the works by other artists help to place their work in context.
Finally, there are two sections on the (short) history and technique of linocut, referencing some of the works illustrated. I found these fascinating and enlightening; they really lifted the book above the level of normal catalogues.
Published by Thames and Hudson to their usual high standards. ( )
