So, skill had little to do with it? Well, the reviewer admitted, âsome pleasurable effects can be gotâ from monotypes, and Power, he thought, had âgot themâ, especially in Liverpool Street Station, My Fiddles, The Power House at Dusk and Gasometers. (The Times agreed that Power had greater command of colour.) But perhaps to their disappointment, the linocuts were still admired more and if the critics were lukewarm so was the buying public. Nan Kivell had set the price of the monotypes at five to seven guineas, more than double that of the linocuts. Very few of them sold. And that has been the case ever since,27 compared to the linos, which are always in demand. The form itself was part of the problem, as Power noted in a wry poem. Was a monotype an original or a multiple, a painting or a print?
They call it a print28
But itâs really a painting
It gives critics no clue
So they look merely blue
and stutter & squint
and call it a print.
