The author examines the work and career of an artist whose idealized and peaceful vision of the Welsh countryside reflects the quieter strain of Neo-Romanticism in British landscape painting. The volume includes plates and lists exhibitions and public collections.

<p>This fully illustrated and annotated catalogue raisonné of the prints of Sydney Lee (1866–1949) offers a long-overdue appraisal of Lee’s contribution to British art. Primarily a painter, Lee was widely acclaimed during his lifetime for his virtuoso prints of landscapes, town scenes, and historic buildings, executed in a remarkable variety of sizes and media. From the Colosseum in Rome to the summit of Mount Snowdon in Wales and the windmills of Kent, England, he traveled throughout Britain and Europe in search of subjects both epic and picturesque. A leading authority on printmaking and a committed collector of Lee’s prints, Robert Meyrick identifies the precise locations of these subjects and establishes an accurate chronology of Lee’s printed work.<br>Robert Meyrick is head of the School of Art and keeper of the School of Art Museum and Collections at Aberystwyth University in Wales. In 2001 he was made an honorary fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in recognition of his services to printmaking in Britain.</p>

Despite having lived through some of the most dramatic changes of the 20th century, Stanley Anderson (1884-1966) created a vision of an essentially timeless English rural tradition in his etchings and woodcuts. Anderson was a key figure in the revival of engraving in the 1920s, and the technique's exacting craftsmanship, intimate scale, and indelible sense of historicism were a stark contrast to the modernist explosion. This catalogue raisonne gathers, for the first time, the complete oeuvre of Anderson's prints, from the townscapes of his early career to his fascinating 20-year study of rural crafts, including hedge-laying, carpentry, and barrel-making.Robert Meyrick is head of the School of Art and keeper of the School of Art Museum and Collections at Aberystwyth University, Wales.

Keith Vaughan (1912-1977) was one of the most celebrated British artists of his generation. A friend of Graham Sutherland in the 1940s he was associated during the war with the rising Neo-Romantic movement along with artists such as John Minton and John Craxton. A contemporary of Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud, Vaughan became, alongside them, representative of powerful figure-based painting in the Britain of the 1950s and 60s.Figure and Ground, both as exhibition and book, brings together two themes that preoccupied Vaughan - the human figure and the landscape. It contains three essays based on new research on Vaughan and his times: on drawing and illustration by Colin Cruise, on photography by Simon Pierse and on prints by Robert Meyrick and Harry Heuser. The exhibition has been selected by Colin Cruise from the Vaughan archive in the School of Art Museum and Gallery at Aberystwyth University.The Aberystwyth collection contains nearly 500 separate items relating to Keith Vaughan including significant holdings of his early photographs, some of which formed his own selection collected in Dick's Book of Photographs assembled around 1940-41, as well as drawings for illustrations and original lithographs. The Vaughan collection has not been the focus of critical attention before and many of the items have never been shown in public.
