'In Hill, Landacre explores sensuality in a landscape more openly than ever before. The flowing lines of the hills in Point Sur have been replaced by a soft, slightly rounded cross-hatching that describes the velvetiness of the hillside, the same technique Landacre uses to describe flesh in Anna and Yesterday. Hill comprised part of the second series of prints presented to the Paul Landacre Association's members and was shown in the 1938 Venice Biennale.'
