In the 1970s and 80s Hughes hung his investigations of perception and illusion on the motif of the rainbow in a series of prints and paintings. 'Poets Typewriter' is a perfect example of his interests with colour. The print was published by the Royal Academy London and immediatly became a collectors item.
