Margaret Brundage's work is now highly prized and highly collectable. Like many pulp artists she didn't receive the credit and respect she deserved in her lifetime. But she was a unique talent and an amazing pioneer. More stories another time...

Margaret Brundage passed away on 9 April 1976. She lived in relative poverty during her later years and shamefully some of her original work was stolen when she attended art fairs and conventions.

Brundage's status as a pioneering women artist is in no doubt, but it took a long time it to be recognised. Was it because she worked for the pulps, or was it purience about her style? Thankfully her work is now recognised as both pioneering and provocative.

Margaret Brundage remained a bohemian throughout her life, working closely with the Beat scene in the 1950s and supporting the Bronzeville African American art community in Chicago.

As Brundage drew in pastels it became too difficult to safely send her work from Chicago to New York, and by 1945 she stopped contributing to Weird Tales.
