Artist proof
This image is a good impression with strong colour .
presented in grey wash frame .
This dates from the period when the artist first started to combine linocut and woodcut to produce colour relief prints . In 1960 the artist exhibited at AIA Gallery London and the critic James Burr wrote an article about these new works in Motif5. He said ‘Cock with spread wings is a sumptuous interpretation of frantic , savage anger bursting out into violent shapes and turbulent , furious colour, conveying the rapid character of these irascible birds by the rhythmic force of the shapes.’
