Tirzah Garwood

    Tirzah Garwood fu un'artista di talento che esplorò vari mezzi artistici nel corso della sua vita, tra cui la xilografia e la pittura ad olio. Le sue prime xilografie ottennero un notevole successo ed furono esposte da stimate società. Nonostante periodi che richiesero un'attenzione domestica e avversità personali, Garwood tornò alla sua pratica artistica, abbracciando in seguito la pittura ad olio e il collage. La sua autobiografia, scritta in circostanze difficili, offre una prospettiva unica sulla sua vita e sul suo percorso creativo.

      When Tirzah Garwood was 18 she went to Eastbourne School of Art and here she was taught by Eric Ravilious. Over the next four years she did many wood engravings and these were widely praised and several were displayed by the Society of Wood Engravers. Alas, after she and Eric were married in 1930 a large part of her time was spent on domestic chores. In 1935 she had the first of her three children. In 1942 - the year she was operated on for breast cancer - she wrote her autobiography (in the evening, after the children were in bed)
