Rare Print FELIKS TOPOLSKI "THIS ENGLAND" School Series 1940s
$350 Negotiable
School Series Print FELIKS TOPOLSKI, R.A. (b. 1907 d. 1989)
THIS ENGLAND colour lithograph
One of the original School Prints from the series produced in 1946.
Towards the end of the Second World War, Brenda Rawnsley and her husband Derek had the idea of bringing contemporary art to young children who would not otherwise have had the opportunity to see 'good' work. Within a few years, Brenda had set up School Prints Ltd to sell original lithographs to schools and had commissioned several of the most important living artists for her scheme.
Brenda Rawnsley sought the advice and assistance of the art historian Herbert Read and between them they chose the artists. The printing was undertaken by the Baynard Press from stones or zinc plates drawn by the artists, who were asked to use no more than six colours. The prints, being original lithographs, were often the first real art seen by young people of that period and were typical of that time.
Information courtesy of Pallant House Gallery Bookshop.
Examples of this lithograph are held by the Tate Gallery and V&A Museum, London. The Tate has a further twelve works by Topolski.
Print size 49.5 x 76 cm. Framed in a tasteful vintage frame and glazed.
The condition appears to be very good. However, the artwork would benefit by being removed from the frame and the inside of the glass being cleaned.
Phone or text ******** 987.
Free postage or courier within Australia. Pick-up in Mount Lawley welcome.
