Colour Woodcut print
Colour Woodcut print. Florence Mary Anderson / Molly MacArthur (1893-1972) had two distinct styles of illustration. From the middle of the 1920s, she moved on from earlier highly-decorative fairy art to produce beautiful monotone woodcuts in a distinctly oriental style. This artwork (as seen here) was produced under the name Molly MacArthur, or F.M. MacArthur.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Color Woodcut print, titled yet to be determined, is a beautiful example of the later works of Florence Mary Anderson, who went by the name Molly MacArthur during this period. Created in the 1920s, this artwork represents a significant shift in Anderson's illustration style, moving away from the highly-decorative fairy art that defined her earlier career. Instead, she adopted a distinctive oriental style, characterized by its monotone color palette and intricate, detailed designs. Born in 1893, Anderson was a prolific and versatile artist whose work spanned various mediums, including watercolor, gouache, and woodcut. However, it was her woodcut prints that truly set her apart. This particular piece, with its delicate lines and rich, bold colors, showcases the artist's mastery of the woodcut technique. The intricate patterns and motifs found in the print are reminiscent of traditional Japanese art, adding to its exotic allure. Anderson's later works, produced under the name Molly MacArthur or F.M. MacArthur, are highly sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts for their unique beauty and timeless appeal. This artwork, with its mysterious and enchanting qualities, is a testament to Anderson's artistic vision and her ability to captivate the imagination of viewers.
