Description: | 58.8 x 67.0 s. outside plate b.r. in pencil "Philip Reeves"; inscr outside b. c. in pencil "a/p"; inscr. in pencil outside plate b. l. "Stacks of Duncansby" CRE REEVES, Philip; (English; b. 1931) The Stacks of Duncansby are an example of Coast Erosion in Caithness, in the Far North-East of Scotland. When Philip Reeves first arrived in Scotland from London the landscape of the extreme north, the headlands and stacks of Caithness with their red sandstone architecture marching into a hostile sea were a revelation to him and were treated in a series of prints, to which this work belongs. Here, the cliff forms are hardly discernable, and have become abstract shapes in a sea of red, symbolic of the redness of the sandstone (P. Black, Philip Reeves at 80, 2001). | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | LANDSCAPE : SCOTLAND : RED : LINE : BLUE : ROCK : ABSTRACT : CAITHNESS : CLIFF : SYMBOL : SANDSTONE : CAMPUS : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
