Etchings, Lithographs and Wood Engravings by Brangwyn from the Bangor University Collection
Born in Bruges, Brangwyn lived and worked in the UK as an illustrator, painter, muralist, designer of furniture, textiles and ceramics. Brangwyn was also a prodigiously prolific printmaker: he worked predominantly in the mediums of etching, lithography, and wood engraving. He exhibited in Britain, America and all across Europe; he was honoured by numerous institutions and bodies, was elected a member of the Royal Academy and given the first one-man exhibition of a living artist there in 1952.
In his lifetime, Brangwyn produced over 500 etchings, 340 wood engravings, 160 lithographs and 130 bookplates of one sort or another. The recently published catalogue raisonné by Dr. Elizabeth Horner of all the known prints by Brangwyn. The small selection of prints in this exhibition aims to show some of the strengths and skill of Brangwyn the printmaker, and does so to coincide with and to celebrate the publication of Dr. Horner’s catalogue.
