Star Lot: A wonderful original Thomas Todd Blaylock (British, b. 1876 - d.1929) multiblock woodcut print titled "Nasturtiums" dating to 1927. Rendered in a fabulous highly saturated palette. Hand signed and titled in pencil to base. Housed in a smart vintage lacquered frame with Victor Waddington Gallery framer sticker to verso. Blaylock was a well regarded British artist whose work fetches into the mid hundreds.
Thomas Todd Blaylock (1876 – 1929) was born in Langholm, Dumfries, and studied at the Royal College of Art in London. His depictions of flowers with flat, bright colors contrasted against dark backgrounds show a modernist's sensibility towards form, design, and color rather than an academic interest in capturing natural light. A lifelong resident of England, he exhibited his prints and paintings primarily in Liverpool, in the same era that the controversial painter Augustus John accepted a post teaching art at the University of Liverpool. His works have been offered at auction and are included in several museum collections.
