Headingley I-V lithographs by John Walker

The whole series of five Headingley lithographs (I-V) by John Walker, published in 1969
 
There are five sheets in total.
 
The Headingley series of lithographs are in a group of five similar abstract shapes with changing elements and colours. They were published in 1969 by Nigel Greenwood and inspired by the 'Lesson' series of paintings 1968-69:

'Lesson 1' 1968, a canvas now in the collection of the Tate, painted in Leeds, at the beginning of Walker's second ‘Lesson’ series. Walker's first ‘Lesson’ series, painted in 1966, was of rhomboidal canvases with straight lines (on a black ground) as the only figuration; this earlier series was ‘about trying to describe solid forms entirely by linear means, in fact diagrammatic, hence the Blackboard look’ (letter from the artist dated 4 March 1969, from which all subsequent quotations are taken). Walker completed three ‘Lesson’ paintings in 1968, of which no. I is in the Tate Collection; no. II belongs to the City Art Gallery, Leeds; and No. III is in his own possession. By 1969, he had completed nine, numbered in the series I to IX, 1969.

John Walker said "The trapezoidal canvas shape was meant to imply extent and stretch and the shape had to have structure. The vertical horizontal lines are to compartmentalize the picture to add linear tension and scale."
