Six woodcut engravings by British artist Tirzah Garwood at the Towner Eastbourne, East Sussex.
From Wikipedia:
Eileen Lucy “Tirzah” Garwood (11 April 1908 – 27 March 1951) was a British wood-engraver, painter, paper marbler, author, and a member of the Great Bardfield Artists.
According to Brighton & Hove Museums, Garwood “is one of the most original and distinctive figures of twentieth century British art.” Her work is known for depicting people, places and animals in domestic scenes “caught in a fleeting moment”. Her style is praised for its touches of humour and eccentricity.
Garwood was married to the artist Eric Ravilious. They collaborated on some projects together, most notably the mural at the Midland Hotel, Morecambe. Garwood’s autobiography was titled ‘Long Live Great Bardfield & Love to You All’.
During her time with the Great Bardfield Artists, Garwood worked with Charlotte Bawden in creating exquisite marbled papers, some of which are now in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
