Claude Flight was to become the most famous protagonist of the linocut in this country. Exhibiting at the Seven and Five Society and later working at the newly formed Grosvenor School of Modern Art, Claude Flight established the technique of linocut as a major and dramatic new art form, shaping the talents of artists such as Sybil Andrews, Cyril Power, and Guy Malet. These artists and the group which formed around them have yet to be surpassed in their creative usage of the medium. [more]
