FLIGHT, Claude.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

The Art and Craft of Lino Cutting and Printing. First edition. Claude Flight (1881-1955) was a devoted champion of the colour linocut, which, as he put it, "has no tradition or technique behind it, so that the student can go forward without thinking of what Bewick or Rembrandt did before" (p. 63). The exhibition he organized at the Redfern Gallery in London in 1929 was "the first exhibition devoted exclusively to the linocut in Britain... [he] also introduced the linocut to a diverse international audience through exhibitions toured by the Redfern to the United States (1929 and 1934), China (1931), Australia (1932 and 1937), and Canada (1935-6).
