EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "Autumn Midnight, 1923" by Eric Gill transports viewers to a serene and intimate scene. The image showcases a woman sitting up in bed, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight streaming through an open window. The delicate lines and intricate details of the woodcut technique bring depth and texture to the artwork. Originally created as a frontispiece illustration for Frances Cornford's poetry book "Autumn Midnight" this print captures the essence of the poem's themes. Gill masterfully portrays solitude and contemplation through his depiction of the woman alone in her bedroom at night. Frances Cornford, an English poet and granddaughter of Charles Darwin, crafted evocative verses that explore nature, introspection, and human emotions. This collaboration between two talented artists creates a harmonious fusion of visual artistry and poetic expression. The sizeable dimensions (19.2x10.7 cm) allow viewers to appreciate every intricacy within this small yet powerful composition. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of Gill's remarkable talent as both a sculptor and artist. Displayed at National Museum Wales, this woodcut print stands as a testament to Eric Gill's artistic legacy during the early twentieth century. It invites us into an ethereal world where light meets darkness, inviting contemplation on life's mysteries.
