Acquired today, two prints by Robert Meyrick; artist, art historian and author, of Hafod Uchtryd the celebrated country house designed by John Nash, set amongst fabulous park land near Aberystwyth. After it fell into disuse the house was demolished in the mid 1940's but its reputation as a high point of Georgian gothic and romantic architecture remains and its splendid and eccentric mix of styles is recreated by Meyrick in his work.
Very much in the manor of the great postwar printmakers such as Edward Bawden and the Curwen press these are two excellent quality prints on thick cartridge paper. A framed linocut of the house against the mountains signed and numbered 5/12. With an original lable from the Aberystwyth Printmakers on the reverse. Also a large screenprint of different architectural elements signed and numbered 22/30.
£95 each.
