Clare Leighton's Rural Life by Clare Leighton
A stunningly packaged anthology of writings and artwork by noted wood engraver Clare Leighton, including beautifully reproduced extracts and a detailed introduction to the artists life and work, reflecting Leightons lifelong fascination with the virtues of the countryside and the people who worked the land.
A stunning tribute to a British-American artist who should be better known* The Bay Magazine *
'Here are her messages for our times, fresh as a boxwood shaving: "if I am defiant in my defence of the countryside, it is because I know it is the last hope for sanity…the strong, sane humour of the earth, without which there is no health. At no time has this been more needed, and at no time have we been at greater risk of losing it."' * Caught by the River *
This beautiful book...will not only introduce a unique artist to a new audience, but serves to remind us of a bucolic world now lost. * The Lady *
