Printmakers on show at DPAG

A focused group of prints made by teachers and students associated with the Grosvenor School of Modern Art is on display from this month at Dunedin Public Art Gallery (DPAG).

The exhibition, titled "Reviving the Print: The Grosvenor School of Modern Art" opened last Saturday in the ground-floor BNZ gallery at DPAG.

Established in London, in 1925, the school is celebrated for its role in reviving an interest in printmaking, and particularly the linocut, in Britain in the 1920s and 1930s.

Pioneering a new style of arts education, the Grosvenor School offered space for experimentation, with many artists using their works to reflect life in Britain in the interwar years.

The exhibition will continue until September.
