Victor Pasmore Etchings, aquatints, screenprints and lithographs 1970 – 1997 Victor Pasmore developed his imagery in print form over four decades – from the renaissance of printmaking in Britain in the 1960s until his death in 1998. The process was invariably a collaborative one between Pasmore and the printer, with the artist drawing on the studio’s particular skills and developing images appropriate to them. Over the period, Pasmore worked with six different print studios – Curwen Press, Kelpra Studio, White Ink, 2RC, 107 Workshop and Hope (Sufferance) Press. All made an important contribution to his printmaking and his work from each studio has an identifiable and specific character.
