While the bulk of the prints reproduced here are linocuts, I have also created screen prints and the occasional etching." 227x227mm. 84pp.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. In the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s Andrew Haslen spent the autumn and winter months working his faithful spaniel Cally and hunting game with a peregrine falcon named Tassa. It was this bird that Ray Turner wrote about in his classic monograph Gamehawk. Andrew produced the line drawings for this book, and always had an idea that one day he would create a series of paintings to accompany it. Three decades later, during which time he has honed his skills as a wildlife artist, he has combined vivid recollections of his gamehawking days with his ability as a painter to create a new body of work and a new book - one that celebrates a remarkable relationship with hawk and dog: ".it feels as if I am back in the field with Tassa, flushing pheasant and watching breathtaking stoops." Memories of experiences he had 40 years ago fill the pages; recollections, still vivid, of flying Tassa. The paintings he has produced, in many cases, are not highly finished but are deliberately sketch-like in their execution, giving fleeting glimpses of pheasants, partridges, ducks and grouse as the falcon strikes them. They are studies from the perspective of the hunter and the hunted. New. 300x240mm. 160pp.
