Description

Sybil & Cyril Cutting Through Time by Jenny Uglow is a gripping and mysterious love story that sheds light on British culture between the wars. In 1922, architect Cyril Power left his family to work with Sybil Andrews, a young artist who would become his partner for twenty years. Their collaboration produced dynamic, modernist linocuts that captured the essence of the interwar period, from the Futurists and Surrealists to medieval myths and early music. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into their world, where art and culture intersected with the changing times. A joy to read, this biography is outstanding in its portrayal of a remarkable partnership that continues to appeal to readers today.
