EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1926, showcases a selection of modern masterpieces from the English Wood Engraving Society's exhibition at St. George's Gallery. The image, a testament to the artistic innovation and skill of the time, features three engravings that continue to inspire and intrigue. Clockwise from the top left, we find C.W. Taylor's "Conway," a powerful and evocative depiction of a stormy seascape. The engraving's intricate details and dynamic use of light and shadow capture the raw energy of the natural world. Next, we discover Barbara Greg's "Au Bord de la Mer," a serene and contemplative piece that invites the viewer to pause and reflect. The delicate lines and subtle shading in this engraving create a sense of tranquility, transporting us to the edge of the water. Lastly, we encounter Claughton Pellew's "The Flood," a haunting and evocative work that explores the power and destructiveness of nature. The engraving's intricate details and bold lines convey a sense of urgency and movement, as if the water is alive and threatening to consume the world around it. Together, these engravings offer a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the English Wood Engraving Society during the 1920s. The society's commitment to preserving and promoting this traditional art form continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
