Description
Winifred Knights (1899-1947) is a pioneering British woman painter whose work has been largely overlooked until now. This book provides a comprehensive account of her life and art, shedding new light on her contribution to the revival of Modernism in Britain during the interwar period. Through a detailed examination of Knights' career, from her early years at the Slade School of Art to her commissions completed between 1926 and 1939, Sacha Llewellyn reveals an artist who consistently drew on personal experience and mythology to explore themes such as war, nature, community, marriage, motherhood, and death. The book features reproductions of all of Knights' major works, including her masterpiece, The Deluge, which is widely regarded as one of the most remarkable paintings at Tate Britain. Drawing on previously unpublished documentary material, Llewellyn makes a compelling case for recognising Knights as one of the most talented artists of her generation.
