Note: |
Charles William Cain 'Charles Cain': An important English
painter, watercolourist and drypoint engraver, Charles William Cain first gained
national recognition for his art of World War One. Shortly after the end
of the war the Imperial War Museum purchased thirty of his drawings. He
created his first published engraving in 1921. Mainly self-taught, he
exhibited his art at both the Royal Academy and the Paris Salon. |
|
During the 1920's and 1930's, Charles W. Cain produced seventy-four
original etchings and engravings, all published in London by Greatorex.
The large majority of his prints deal with scenes in Iraq, Persia, Indian
and Burma and Cain developed a strong reputation as a major Orientalist
printmaker. Today, a large collection of Charles Cain's drypoints will
be found at the British Museum, London. |
