Lucie van Dam van Isselt's still-lifes are a great favourite of mine. She studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague from 1891 and from around this date began painting observational pictures with no frippery. This work is from about 1930.

'Through the Windscreen.' (1929) Gertrude Hermes was a printmaker and sculptor, who was one of the leading figures in the revival of wood engraving in the early 20thC. This work shows the night-time view of a tree-lined road lit up by the headlights of a car.

It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.

A magical evening rockpooling with UV torches at Marazion last night. We succeeded in finding a few Snakelocks Anemones - their fluorescence is spectacular!

Great finding old chums over here - commenting or reposting is probably the best way for me to find and follow you back🙏🏻 Thought the current ‘retrospective’ might give new followers an idea of what we’ve all been up to ‘elsewhere’ since 2020 😉 Salford Ginnel (Pastel) by Tom Brown (1933 - 2017)

'Relics.' (1928) It is interesting to note that was not even a faint American equivalent to the 18thC and early 19thC British and European printmakers, no American Hogarth, no Goya, nothing like James Gillray. This is another work by the superb Martin Lewis.
