Classic Cyril Power's 1934 Linocut 'The Sunshine Roof' is printed from four linoleum printing blocks in primrose yellow, brown, viridian and prussian blue. This print was inspired by a bus trip made by Power along with his son Cyril Arthur Power on the Green Line bus on a trip between London and Hereford. Power was encouraged by fellow artist and printmaker Claude Flight to produce work that depicted speed and movement of contemporary London life. Cyril Power was fascinated by modes of modern transport, in particular the London Underground. Other popular prints in this series include 'The Escalator', 'The Tube Station' and 'Whence & Whither' all of which are available from The Fine Art Company. This beautiful fine art print is produced on a heavyweight German cotton rag paper measuring 53 x 61cm and each print is hand numbered.
