About this work

Leon Kossoff’s *Christ Church, Autumn* is a print from 1989-92. It shows his usual focus on cityscapes, here a London church in fall. Printmaking let him push his skill with line. Kossoff often reworked his prints over and over. He kept changing the image even after printing started, always aiming for the right feel. His later etchings copied old masters like Poussin. That’s how he studied their work without copying their colors. Look up Kossoff, Leon.
