Shorelands Winter Diary

C.F. Tunnicliffe

Constable and Robinson

1992

"Found among Tunnicliffe's papers after his death in 1979 but only recently recognized, this manuscript was written as the sequel to "Shorelands Summer Diary". It completes his portrait of a year in the life of the natural history of Anglesey. From Tunnicliffe's practice of dating all his sketches, it has been possible to date the illustrations for this work in the collection at the Oriel Ynys Mon, the spectacular new gallery in Anglesey. Charles Tunnicliffe was one of the greatest British bird artists. In his hands, the written and painted observation of natural events combine to create a picture in colour, line and words of a lovely part of Wales, sanctuary to a profusion of birds in a glorious landscape of mountain, cliff and estuary."

Portrait of a Country Artist

Ian Niall

Victor Gollancz

1980

"Ian Niall's affectionate portrait of his friend describes the life of a warm-hearted, down-to-earth countryman, a totally dedicated artist whose genius lay in his depiction of scenes from country life and in the most exquisite representation of wild creatures."

"The book attempts to illustrate a sample from Tunnicliffe's enormous output of work in its various facets. The superb early etchings are well represented, as are his fine wood engravings from the late 1930's. His watercolours, which became a regular feature of the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, are reproduced in colour, together with some of his sketches and measured drawings of birds. Particularly beautiful are the marvellous oils on cloth from 1938, little known now but surely some of his most lovely pictures."
