China Clay - The Priest
China Clay - The Priest. 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.

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite monotone woodcut print, titled "China Clay - The Priest," is a stunning representation of the later works of Florence Mary Anderson, also known as Molly MacArthur. Created in the 1920s, this artwork marks a significant shift from her earlier, highly decorative fairy art. The image showcases MacArthur's mastery of the monotone woodcut technique, producing a distinctly oriental style that sets it apart from her previous body of work. Born in 1893, Anderson's artistic journey began in the early 1900s, and by the 1920s, she had developed a unique and captivating style. Under the name Molly MacArthur or F.M. MacArthur, she produced a series of beautiful woodcut prints that were characterized by their intricate details, bold lines, and rich textures. This particular artwork, created in 1922, showcases the artist's ability to capture the essence of the Far East through her art. The title "China Clay - The Priest" adds an intriguing layer of mystery to the print. While the exact meaning behind the title is unknown, the image of a robed figure with an enigmatic expression suggests a connection to Eastern religious traditions. The delicate brushstrokes and intricate patterns in the clothing and background further emphasize the oriental influence on MacArthur's art during this period. This woodcut print is a testament to Florence Mary Anderson's artistic versatility and her ability to evolve her style to reflect the cultural influences of her time. The result is a timeless piece that continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and intrigue.
