Lot 576: Bill Woodrow, British b.1948- Greenleaf; etchings,

Bill Woodrow, British b.1948- Greenleaf; etchings, five, signed, dated 1992 and 25/35 in pencil, 50x60cm, (5) (may be subject to Droit de Suite) Note: These etchings is are inspired by the short story, called 'Greenleaf', by the American writer Flannery O'Connor. Woodrow however, is not simply illustrating the text. In each print he responds to images or words in the story that attracted his attention and seemed to him to be the key elements. The story concerns an old woman, Mrs May, who is tormented by a scrub bull belonging to her neighbours - it eats her crops, keeps her awake and eventually kills her.
