The humble linocut was a remarkable development in contemporary printmaking when it emerged against the backdrop of the modern era of the 1920s and 1930s. Colourful and vibrant, it was the perfect medium for conveying the fast-changing world of speeding motor vehicles, industry, city life and sport, as well as more traditional pastoral subjects. One O’Clock Jump: British Linocuts from the Jazz Age brings together a selection of exceptional prints from the folio presented to Aotearoa New Zealand by Ōtautahi Christchurch-born Rex Nan Kivell in 1953.
Curator: Peter Vangioni
