Catalogue Note

‘Power was able matchlessly to evoke the ‘rhythms and patterns’ of the modern world with a visionary realism that, while remaining fresh and personal, managed both to embody aspects of the spirit of the age and to become movingly universal.’ 

(Philip Vann, Cyril Power Linocuts: A Complete Catalogue, Lund Humphries, Farnham 2008, p.14)
