Valoración del libro

Más información sobre el libro

Beautifully done collection of noted British artist Don Breckon's paintings of country railways. The paintings recreate the golden days of steam, before the cuts and closures of the 1960s, when rail transport was an indispensable and picturesque part of everyday country life. The book includes preliminary charcoal sketches done for each painting as well as explanations of how each picture was plotted out. With essays on the art by Tony Barfield, Tony Kingdom and Guy Pannell. The book provides fascinating insights into Breckon's technique as well as a glimpse of the social changes that overtook Britain when the railways arrived. Oversized. 96 pages.
