Bill Jacklin studied graphics in Walthamstow, London, and worked as a graphic designer before turning to painting in the early 1960s, studying at the Royal College of Art. Initially concerned with abstraction, in the mid-1970s Jacklin started to focus on figurative work, and principally on depicting light and movement. Jacklin moved to New York in 1985 and the city plays a starring role in many of his works, in particular his atmospheric images of ice skaters. This authoritative collection is a masterclass in evoking atmosphere, movement and space through printmaking.
