John Reginald Brunsdon (1933-2014) was a British artist, printmaker and painter. This piece is a wonderful example of his love of landscape and creating images of the English countryside. It was produced in 1975 and is from a very limited edition of 100 etchings. It is embossed in the lower right next to the date with an image of the profile of a head. All of his work is individually hand etched, inked, coloured and printed.
He is considered one of the finest British printmakers and is represented in many major public collections such as the Tate Gallery, the Scottish Museum of Modern Art, the V&A, the Arts Council, MOMA in New York and the British Council.
Brunsdon studied at the Cheltenham College of Art from 1949 to 1953. After national service he attended the Royal College of Art from 1955 to 1958 under the tutelage of Julian Trevelyan and others including Edwin La Dell, Edward Ardizzone and Edward Bawden.
Inspired initially by the great American abstract expressionists (and artists such as Yves Klein) Brunsdons' early work in monochrome as well as colour assured his reputation. Showing by invite at the New Editions Exhibition (group show) at the Zwemmer Gallery 1961. By the 1970s Brunsdons' work became more figurative and led by landscape and turned further again to a more representational style in his later life.
From 1958 to 1963 he was resident at Digswell House when he began teaching portrait painting part-time at St. Albans School of Art. He then moved to Woburn, Bedfordshire. In 1969 he established the printmaking department at St Albans College of Art, where he taught full-time for 16 years as Head of Printmaking while exhibiting extensively in Britain and abroad.
Brunsdon was a full member of The Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and in 1965 a founder member of The Printmakers Council.
