EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite woodcut print, titled "Tribute - Kingcup," is a stunning example of the monotone illustrations created by the talented artist Molly MacArthur (1893-1972), also known as Florence Mary Anderson, during the 1920s. A departure from her earlier, highly-decorative fairy art, MacArthur's later works showcased a distinctly oriental style that was both elegant and captivating. The image of the Kingcup, a type of water lily, is rendered in intricate detail, with delicate lines and subtle shading that bring the flower to life. The muted monotone palette adds to the serene and contemplative atmosphere of the piece, transporting the viewer to a peaceful and otherworldly realm. This particular woodcut was created in 1925 and was credited to Molly McArthur. MacArthur's use of the pseudonym was not uncommon for artists of the time, and it allowed her to maintain a degree of privacy while still producing and selling her work. The print is a beautiful testament to MacArthur's artistic versatility and her ability to adapt to new styles and techniques. The woodcut medium, which involves carving an image into a block of wood and then printing it onto paper, was a popular choice among artists of the 1920s due to its ability to produce intricate and detailed images with a unique textured quality. MacArthur's mastery of this technique is evident in the intricately carved lines and subtle shading of "Tribute - Kingcup," making it a true work of art and a must-have for any collector of vintage illustrations.
