Norman Ackroyd
One of Britain's foremost printmakers, Norman Ackroyd has spent a lifetime recording the coastal landscapes of the British Isles. Made in the open air, often aboard a pitching and tossing fishing boat, these lively, spontaneous works capture the unique atmosphere of these remote and beautiful islands. Gorgeously printed, A Shetland Notebook contains 39 of his vivid landscape sketches in watercolor.
His engaging commentaries place each sketch in its context and describe the techniques employed to make it--as well as the day's prevailing weather conditions. The notebook's unusual format is due entirely to the artist, who uses sheets of various types of paper torn to fit into a loose-leaf binder made from two pieces of wooden picture-backing; this he tucks into his coat pocket, ready for use whenever the need arises.
