"PICNIC ON THE BEACH" By WILLIAM STRANG, HAND SIGNED LIMITED EDITION SERIGRAPH, IMAGE SIZE: 36.5X22.5, ALL ITEMS COME UNFRAMED HOWEVER FRAMING IS AVAILABLE AT ADDITIONAL COST. IN THE MANNER OF WILLIAM STRANG, British painter, etcher, and draughtsman. He was born in Dumbarton, where he was briefly apprenticed to a shipbuilding firm before moving to London (he lived there for the rest of his life) and studying at the *Slade School, 1876–80. Under the guidance of Alphonse *Legros he took up etching and it was in this field that he originally made a name for himself. By the mid-1890s he had an international reputation, but from this time he turned increasingly to painting, and after the turn of the century he was regarded more as a painter-etcher than an etcher-painter.
