Etching on Paper 4 in existence signed/dated
From a series of etchings which took sixties film stills as their starting points. Whilst studying Fine Art at Leicester's De Montofrt University (formerly Leicester Polytechnic) Furr found a book of sixties kitchen sink drama film stills in the Kimberlin library and used these as the basis of a collection of etchings.
The stills were drawn, then worked into with amendments or additions and a section of written text was added at the bottom of the image which complemented the image with further ideas. In this case the text was the description given for the film still in the book.
The etching is based on a still from the movie "A Kind of Loving" 1962 , Dir. John Schlesinger featuring June Ritchie and Alan Bates as the leads.
The text at the bottom of the etching reads:
'To escape from the depressing atmosphere at home, Vic visits a pub concert and after drinking heavily takes the microphone to sing.'
