School Prints

We were sorry to hear that Brenda Rawnsley - founder of the School Print series - passed away a few days ago at the age of 90.

Published in the 1940s, Rawnsley persuaded some of the greatest artists of the 20th century to contribute work to be printed and distributed to Britain's schools.

In total 30 prints were produced, and despite the relatively large print runs they have become increasingly difficult to source. Earlier this year all 30 prints were exhibited at the Pallant House gallery in Chichester. This coincided with the publication of Ruth Artmonsky's excellent book that catalogues the series.

We often have original School Prints at the gallery - contact us for further details.
