She achieves marvelous movement! <br />A nice idea for a post. <br />Doris McCarthy, Marian Scott, Christiane Pflug, Mary Pratt, Frances Loring and Florence Wyle spring to mind.

My favorite of the three you've selected is Swans...I feel like you can see a geometric and engineering aspect to them, perhaps influenced by her apprenticeship? Thank you for bringing some art into my life today!

They were painted in the 20's and 30's and Japanese influence was huge in the west in that era (think Deco) - though she studied mostly in Britain- I'm sure she looked at more than a few Japanese prints ;)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17109926271346087359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266285278685798457.post-45671784402343039852014-02-24T17:45:58.130-06:002014-02-24T17:45:58.130-06:00What a great idea to highlight Canadian artists.

It would be an education for me - I know of Emily Carr, the Group of Seven and a couple of other Canadians, but looking not too far back in your archives, I've learned of two more I'd like to explore - Sybil Andrews and Prudence Heward. Andrews painting "Swans" is full of graceful movement. Her paintings seem to have an oriental feeling - I wonder if she studied in Japan?

I've never heard of Sybil Andrews, but based on your three samples above, I think I like her. "Racing" is my favorite because it has so much movement. I thought it was a wave at first glance.Cristal @ Dapple Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10397453660900066054noreply@blogger.com
