F.L. Griggs, 1876-1938 : the architecture of dreams
"F. L. Griggs (1876-1938) was universally acclaimed as one of the finest etchers of his time. Most of his subjects are architectural; some show actual places, whilst others are constructs from a rich arts-and-crafts imagination. Hitherto a largely unrecognized pivot in British Romantic art, Griggs's work links that of Turner, Blake, and Samuel Palmer with the Neo-Romantics Graham Sutherland and John Piper." "This scholarly and detailed account of Griggs's life fills an important gap, and Jerrold Northrop Moore writes with advocacy and passion on the subject of this artist's powerful works."--Jacket
