Vann writes on the visual arts for publications including The Economist and Galleries. In this volume he profiles the career of British avant garde printmaker Cyril Power, who, under the
leadership of Claude Flight at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London, helped lead the popularization of linocut prints between the two World Wars. The 45 stylized b&w and color works
and advertisements displayed here found their inspiration in different eras of European architecture, mythology, and the human form in action. This book is distributed in the US by Ashgate.
