Seller's Description:
Exhibition catalogue. 265x235mm 173 pages. Illustrated in colour throughout. Paperback. Spine uncreased. Near fine. William Nicholson (1872-1949) achieved fame as a printmaker long before he became widely known as a painter. The bold woodcuts in his "Alphabet" brought him success with public and critics while he was still a young man and this series was followed by the equally popular "Almanac of Twelve Sports", "London Types" and "Square Book of Animals". But it was Nicholson's images of "Queen Victoria", "Sara Bernhardt", "Rudyard Kipling" and others that formed the cornerstone of his reputation and led to the award of a gold medal in Paris and a trip to the USA to portray celebrities such as Mark Twain and Theodore Roosevelt. This book covers both Nicholson's importance for the late 19th-century revival of the woodcut and the less well known but more varied graphic work he went on to produce between 1900-40. The artist's life and work are supplemented by a catalogue raisonne that draws extensively on unpublished letters and documents.
