Landscape - Trees, Road, Huts 

John Fullwood created this landscape using a drypoint etching technique, capturing a rural scene with trees, a road, and huts. Born in Birmingham, Fullwood was part of the late 19th and early 20th-century etching revival, when artists sought to elevate printmaking to the status of fine art. Fullwood captures an intimate, everyday scene; two figures walk along a road, near dwellings which are in harmony with nature. As an artist and an art educator, Fullwood moved between Europe, South Africa, and the United States, reflecting an identity shaped by varied cultural landscapes and a global perspective. Consider how Fullwood presents a kind of serene, classless idyll, where gender and racial identity are softened. How does the piece negotiate a collective sense of belonging? With its subtle lines and understated composition, Fullwood's etching invites us to reflect on the idealized and sometimes overlooked, aspects of community, heritage, and identity.
