Sir Henry Rushbury (1889–1968) is a forgotten treasure of 20th-century British art. Internationally renowned during his lifetime, Rushbury portrayed the landscapes, cities, and street life
of Britain and Europe. He was a modern master of the ancient art of drypoint: with a few minute grooves and flecks cut in the surface of a copperplate, he conjured extraordinary effects of
mood and atmosphere.
This catalogue raisonné of Rushbury's prints offers the opportunity to rediscover and reassess this astonishing body of work. An introduction by art historian Felicity Owen and a biography
by the artist's daughter make a compelling portrait of this superb printmaker.
