Cyril Power (1872-1951) was a British artist best known for his linocut prints, although he also painted and etched also.
Cyril Power (1872-1951) was a British artist best known for his linocut prints, although he also painted and etched also.
He was particularly passionate about where he lived - London - and the London Underground, a subject he captured by mimicking its speed, movement, and dynamism through his artwork. We love the sense of action and energy paired with his futuristic outlook and striking colours. It can be seen in many of his creations how he mastered the handling of curve, form, and line to capture the pace and rhythm of modern life. Power studied and later taught at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London. He exhibited widely during his career, and was elected a member of the Royal Society of British Artists in 1930. Power’s artwork is held in collections around the world in the British Museum, the National Gallery of Australia, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
We love the sense of action and energy in Power's artworks. Paired with his futuristic outlook and striking colours, Power infuses his art with a sense of movement and strength. As evident in many of his creations, the artist mastered the handling of curve, form, and line to capture the pace and rhythm of modern life. Power succeeds in giving these two dimensional lino cuts a touch of real life.
What is Archival Giclée
Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY) is a neologism, ultimately derived from the French word gicleur, coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made using inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used widely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality.
