In The Greenwood

Byrne, John, 1940 (b.) (Artist)‎, Glasgow Print Studio (Publisher)‎, Duffin, Stuart, 1959 (b.) (Collaborating Master Printmaker)‎, McNicol, Ian (Editioning Printer)‎

Image of male figure surrounded by oak leaves, printed in green ink (mid green with a small amount of prussian blue). The oak leaves are a motif that appear in other paintings and prints by Byrne. The mezzotint plate for this print was begun in1995 (the composition of the image recalls Byrne's lithographs of 1994) but the plate was not editioned until 2005. This is one of three mezzotints, similar in scale and in content, which appear to have been influenced by the artist's observations of Californian beach culture.
