Norman Ackroyd, Artist, Etcher, Printer; British Landscapes.

I read with interest an article about Norman Ackroyd in the Daily Telegraph Review section of 8 December, 2018.

Mark Hudson writes:

"Ackroyd has an uncanny ability to conjure, from this recalcitrant conjunction of elements, effects of breathtaking subtlety and sensitivity, Delicate veils of spray and wheeling flocks of seagulls bring a touch of the Wagnerian sublime to his images of the British coastline...among the most resonant modern British landscapes in any medium"."

It sent me looking for more of his etchings.

I found his website:  http://www.normanackroyd.com/


I was delighted to find an etching of South Cadbury Hill, 1992  in the section England, South Counties.
