Influential Artists: Frank Short 1857-1943

Despite being a printmaker, the style of Frank Short's work really appeals to me. I love the looseness of his mark making, and the fact that his compositions are so everyday - so simple in their look and feel.

His print work can be detailed and descriptive or just give an indication of a landscape with a few details. His landscapes are lush and almost colourful, despite being only created in black and white, and have a very painterly feel to them, with some incredible textures.
