John Hall Thorpe 1874-1947 Signed Woodcut Crocuses
We are offering for sale this very attractive wood cut print by John Hall Thorpe, who has signed the print in pencil in the margin. The print depicts Crocuses and Snowdrops in a blue vase.
This is one of two wood block prints by this artist that we are listing.
John Hall Thorpe was born in Victoria, Australia in 1874. He learnt the art of wood block printing in Sydney in the early 1890s, where he worked as an illustrator and staff artist at the Sydney Mail. He studied art both in Sydney and at Heatherlys's after his move to London in 1902 and by 1918 he had commenced the wood block printing for which he earned international acclaim in the 1920s and 30s.
He had his first one-man show in London in 1918 which was a great success. He printed and published every one of his prints personally and they were sold not only in England, but in France and the US. He had a studio initially in Recliffe Square but later had a gallery in South Kensington.
His brightly coloured woodcuts were his reaction to what he felt was the drabness of homes between the wars. He died in London in 1947.
The print was badly framed passe partout and has been newly double mounted in two tone acid free mountboard and framed in a suitable 1" matte black frame to suit. It will be supplied wired and ready to hang.
Image size 6 1/2" x 6" - 16.5cm x 15.2cm
Frame size 13 1/8" x 12 5/8" - 33.35cm x 32cm
Medium Wood block print on paper
Condition Very good condition. The mounts and frame are new.
