John Tunnard (British, 1900-1971) - Abstract Offset Lithograph (1947, Signed in Print). “Holiday” is a work reminiscent of Yves Tanguy, Jean Arp, and the modernist artists from the early to mid 1900s. His work married the use of biomorphic shapes and constructivism.
In good condition, with minor defects along the top edge. No creases.
Size: 19.5”H x 29.75”W
Tunnard's work, along with that of painter Graham Sutherland, was loosely termed British Neo-romanticism, continuing the tradition of British landscape, but with a modern sensibility. In later life he became interested in space travel and entomology, when he depicted satellites and moonscapes in his paintings.
Interest in his work diminished after his death in 1971. In 2000, there was a centenary exhibition at Durham University.
A major retrospective at Pallant House Gallery in Chichester in Spring 2010 entitled 'John Tunnard: Inner Space to Outer Space', explored the themes of abstraction, music and surrealism, nature and landscape, and science and space travel in his work. The exhibition was curated by Simon Martin. less
