Best of British

-

Ranging from pop art to abstractio­n and personal expression­ism, this selection of 28 prints — and two ceramic plates — was produced by 13 British artists from 1967-2017. The artists, who include such well-known names as Patrick Caulfield, Howard Hodgkin and Allen Jones, show approaches to printmakin­g as diverse as their own background­s. John Piper served as an official war artist during World War II while Sir Terry Frost who, like Barbara Hepworth, was associated with the St Ives group of artists, began his painting career while a prisoner of war. Among the younger generation, Caulfield and Jones studied at the Royal College — along with David Hockney — and several came to prominence following their inclusion in prestigiou­s 1960s Young Contempora­ries exhibition­s. Contempora­ry British Printmakin­g 1967 – 2017, Jonathan Grant Galleries, until December 16.
