Alan Marshall — DRAWN TO PRINT H J Jackson

Mascot Media, 1st Edition, H J Jackson produced his first linocut print 70 years ago, with this classroom effort helping him find a place at Norwich Art School and leading him towards a lifelong affair with lino. In this new book, the artist exposes his fascination with the failed M&GN railway, the redevelopment of Norwich in the late 1950s, the varied architecture and landscape of rural and coastal Norfolk and the colourful paraphernalia of the fishing industry. Drawn to Print showcases the sketches, paintings, preparatory drawings and prints that form John's artistic process, taking the reader from the first idea to the final linocut - although many ideas never made it to the printmaking stage. 4to. 160pp, New, No Jacket, 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall, 160
