Essays by John Wood and Libby Horner, edited by Paul Cava. "Paul Cava's recovery of Frank Brangwyn's photographs, many of which were directly used in the making of…his paintings, is a cause for celebration to both photographic historians and historians of nineteenth and twentieth century British art. It is, in fact, probably a more significant event for the photographic world than it is for the world of painting. Despite the great power of Brangwyn's lithographs and etchings and his vast popularity just a few generations ago, many of his paintings look like what we dismissively refer to as "illustration" today. His decorative subject matter is a part of the reason for this, but much of the reason, I would argue, has to do with his palette. Too often we look at him and think of N.C. Wyeth, who loved many of the color combinations that Brangwyn also loved. However, if we happen to look at a black and white reproduction of a Brangwyn painting, there is no such effect, and the most critical thing we can say is that Brangwyn looks busy, but no busier than a great many painters of his day looked.Time's passage creates art as surely as artists intentionally create it because time can enlarge the eye's ability to perceive art, as it does in the case of these amazing photographs by Frank Brangwyn. Time's passage has, in fact, so enlarged our ability to see these works that we are awed by their beauty, their humanity, and their radical modernity. That passage also insists that Frank Brangwyn's name be added to the masters of photographic history." - excerpted from the Paul Cava web site.
