First published 1990, this volume consists of an introductory essay
by Ian Lowe and a comprehensive catalogue of all Wilfred
Fairclough's prints, some 140, from 1932 to the present (1990). Al
the prints are illustrated in the body of the catalogue for ease of
identification and 48 are also reproduced as large format duotone
illustrations. From the Royal College of Art, Wilfred Fairclough
won the Rome Scholarship in Engraving in 1934 and was elected an
Associate of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers in
the same week. His engravings, inspired by his travels in Italy,
Spain and Germany in the 1930s, were succeeded by etchings of
British subjects and topography, notably of Oxford, until, with a
Leverhulme grant, he returned to Italy in 1961. Increasingly,
thereafter he has found his subjects and his inspiration in Venice,
in concerts, restaurant interiors, and the Carnival, and in
Lucerne, in markets and the human figure. Wilfred Fairclough has
exhibited consistently at the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and
Engravers and at the Royal Academy (where his most recent Venetian
subject, Venice Carnival. Clowns, sold out in three days). Now aged
83 he is still working. There has been no slackening off in his
productivity nor in the quality of his work since he retired from
teaching at the Kingston College of Art in 1972. The Catalogue is
based on his own meticulous records. It will be an essential source
of information for all who are interested in his work as a
printmaker. Elected an Honorary Member of the Royal Society of
Painter-Etchers and Engravers in 1975, Ian Lowe worked in the
Ashmolean Museum in Oxford from 1962 until 1987. There he was
responsible for the collection of nineteenth- and twentieth-century
British prints. He arranged and catalogued numerous exhibitions
including those devoted to ~F.L. Griggs, R.S. Austin, Robin Tanner,
Alan Gwynne-Jones and Richard Shirley Smith. His association with
Wilfred Fairclough dates from 1974. His introductory essay is both
biographical and an appreciation of Fairclough's achievement as a
printmaker. It is based on their correspondence, lectures, and
meetings as well as on the study of the archives and records of the
last sixty years.
