Quote:
"Shelducks, like Eider
drakes or Avocets, are designed for
linocutting. My first print of these
handsome ducks was small and was made,
whilst a student, for my 1961 Christmas
card. I referred to the second, much larger
print as my -poster advertising Shelducks-,
as that is how it seemed to turn
out."
Review:
"Printmaking has,
since childhood, been a major part of
Robert Gillmor's artistic output. At school
he was introduced to linocutting and it
became a preferred printing medium. In
Cutting Away, after describing his working
methods, Robert writes of his inspiration
behind the 90 prints illustrated. These
often evoke memories which allow him to
wander through autobiographical anecdotes.
In the final section he demonstrates the
use of linocuts for posters and book
jackets, especially those he has designed
for the prestigious New Naturalist
series."
