Brunsdon is widely considered one of Britain's most distinguished printmakers. Landscape was always John's foremost influence, even when images were still abstract and influenced by American abstract expressionists such as Kline and Motherwell. He was fascinated by man's mark on the landscape - the contrast between buildings and countryside: the one temporary the other timeless and primeval.
