Elegant wood-engraving charcoal drawing lithograph print by John Buckland-Wright (1897-1954). Signed, dated, titled, and numbered in pencil on the margin. The drawing has a signature inside the scene with a Buckland-Wright monogram on the top right corner.
This superb lithograph print with full margins features a group of nude bathers ("baigneuses" in French) in a luxuriant environment with cubist influence. This work was engraved to appear in the Album de La Gravure Originale Belge, printed by Pichon.
Our impression is numbered "10" from an edition of 65.
This exceptional work shows the artist at his best as a figurative artist. Buckland-Wright was a master wood engraver, and this work exemplifies his mastery.
The lithograph is ornate with a contemporary wood framing with an ivory-color matte and acrylic glass protection.
Measurements:
With frame: 17.50 in. wide (44.5 cm) x 20.50 in. high (52 cm)
Opening view: 7.69 in wide (19.5 cm) x 10.63 in. high (27 cm).
About:
Buckland Wright was born in Dunedin, New Zealand, on December 3, 1897. He moved to England in 1908.
Buckland Wright studied history at Oxford and then architecture in London. He soon realized that he wanted to be an artist more than an architect, and by 1921 he was living in Belgium and was elected a member of the Gravure Originale Belge in 1925. During the 1930s, Buckland Wright lived and worked in Paris. He had several single exhibitions in London and throughout the continent.
The "JBW" monogram is the signature commonly found in his work.
Several museums in England held his work: the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Museum, the National Gallery of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art. Many galleries and museums in Europe and America also have his works in their collections.
A master printmaker with an assured, swirling line, Buckland Wright passed on his skills after World War II when he taught at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts in 1948 and the Slade School of Fine Art, from 1953, the year that his book Etching and Engraving: Techniques and the Modern Trend was published. He illustrated over 50 books.
Buckland Wright died on September 27, 1954.
