Artwork From The Telegraphs Sue Macartney Snape Is Brilliant
I went to an exhibition in 2006, which was at the Lygon arms, Broadway. The exhibitor was Sue Macartney-Snape who is probably better known for illustrating topical caricature in the Telegraph, I think the area in the Telegraph was called the “Social Stereotypes” column. I had wanted to purchase one of Sue Macartney-Snape’s prints at the show but found myself in the annoying position of having no money to purchase the prints with.
I have since discovered how collectable her pieces have become with her caricatures avidly chased after by many members of high society. I have a sneaky suspicion that a lot of the characters Sue Macartney Snape illustrates have several of her caricature prints secretly stashed somewhere in there home. I digress once again, I went looking for some of her work online and found several sites that allowed me to buy prints of her work.
I specifically liked the print “collecting cuttings” with the gorgeous characters that she makes feel so bright and happy amid the structure of an English garden reminding me of relatives getting their heads together over Carnival fundraising. I had Sue Macartney-Snape’s print sent to me via the post and it now has the best spot in my Kitchen layout. There was a limited run on the prints of 600 and each print was 22” X 18” without a mount. I had a local picture framing company mount and frame the print and was really pleased with the finished product.
If you haven’t had the delight of looking at her artwork should look her up as she has a witty take on the weird structure that is British society.
