About the book >.>.> No exhibition has been devoted entirely to the work of the elder Cozens since A.P. Opp?’s show at the Graves Art Gallery Sheffield and the Tate in 1946. The exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum forms part of a more specialized series than Toronto’s devoted as is fitting for the national collection to those masters of British watercolour that have for one reason or another been neglected. It seemed clear that a re- appraisal of Alexander Cozens was long overdue and that a presentation of him as a master in his own right not just as the progenitor of his brilliant son was required. To represent the full range of their work it was necessary to include loans from a large number of public galleries and private lenders in Britain. We are extremely grateful to them for agreeing to lend so generously and only regret that the private owners must remain modestly anonymous. Any one familiar with the field knows than an enterprise such as this would be impossible without support from one owner. (MP)
