Title:	The Hay Cart (Char de Foin)
Artist:	Brangwyn, Frank William (Bruges, 1867 - London, 1956)
Date:	1907
Medium:	Original Etching
Note:	Sir Frank Brangwyn: One of the most influential etchers of the early twentieth century, Sir Frank Brangwyn had already established his reputation as a major painter and watercolourist before he attempted his first etching in 1900. He was then quickly drawn more and more to the many possibilities of this artistic medium and by 1926 had completed 331 original etchings. Most of Brangwyn's art concentrated upon figure studies, architectural and marine subjects. He traveled extensively and many of his most famous etchings are of continental views, particularly scenes from Normandy, Belgium and Italy.
	Frank Brangwyn's fame rests upon his method of etchings as much as upon his actual deceptions and imagery. As is the case with this original example, his etched lines are often very heavily bitten and a thick film of ink has been left on portions of the plate to create dramatic tonal values. 'Purists' occasionally charge that Brangwyn's etchings are thus too theatrical. Collectors, however, see genius in Brangwyn's methods and examples of his original etchings have thus been avidly sought after for more than eighty years.
	The Hay-Cart is a stunning example of Brangwyn's art. Here, he gives full and accomplished play to his famous atmospheric effects, contrasting light, shade and depth. As is the case with Brangwyn's best art, it is a powerful and convincing image.
	The Hay-Cart was one of four etchings created by Brangwyn for the exhibition of his etched art at the Newbolt Gallery, London, in 1908. The scene was based upon his sketch from the French town of Montreuil. In his catalogue, (See included entry) W. Gaunt fails to mention the size of the edition. It is, however, believed The Hay-Cart was printed in one and only one edition of less than two hundred impressions, including the handful of initial impressions marked A. P. (Artist's Proof) in the lower left corner. The plate was then destroyed to prohibit a further printing.
