Yorkshire Landscape, 1930s Woodcut by Robert Leslie Howey (English, 1900-1981).
Signed in pencil at the lower right.
Dimensions: Plate 4 x 4, Sheet 6 x 6, Folder: 12 x 10 inches.
Robert Leslie Howey (English, 1900-1981) born in Hartlepool, was the son of the Staithes Group artist, and a friend of Staithes artists, Rowland Hill and Mark Senior, but entered West Hartlepool School of Art only in his thirties. Woodcuts by Howey represent the tranquil landscapes of Yorkshire. They are, expertly executed, reminding Japanese sosaku hanga prints. Exhibited at the center of the linocut and woodcut world - Leipzig Fair, they won great acclaim. However, his interest in linocuts only continued till the end of the 1930s, and when Howey switched to pastels, watercolor, and lastly to a mixture of the two, for which he is best known.
