Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Chris Orr (b. 1943) is one of Britain's foremost printmakers. In this definitive book he and Robert Hewison explore his remarkable career, from his early experiments as a student in the 1960s, to his later innovations in lithography, silkscreen, and digital printing. Hewison also considers the significant contribution that Orr has made to printmaking as a teacher. Illustrated with over 150 of Orr's theatrical, witty, and willfully allusive prints, this book looks for the first time in depth at the gloriously original output of a ceaseless inventor. Robert Hewison is a critic and cultural historian who has published widely on British art and culture of the 19th and 20th centuries. Chris Orr was elected a Royal Academician in 1995. He lives and works in London. Michael Palin is an actor, broadcaster, and writer, most famous as a member of the comedy group Monty Python and for his travel documentaries.
