Glyndebourne Opera’s 75th Anniversary posters
In celebration of Glyndebourne Opera’s 75th Anniversary the painter and
printmaker Tom Hammick has made a series of six unique hand printed
limited edition prints based on this season’s productions.
Using
reduction woodcut techniques and hand cut type, the images explore the
librettos and staging of the operas, including Falstaff, Caesare and
The Fairy Queen.
Different colour variations have been used in the
printing of the works so that each is unique. Hammick’s vibrant images
bring to mind the traditions of the theatrical poster, in which artists
such as Toulouse Lautrec designed publicity for the colourful
productions of fin de siècle Paris.
