Beschreibung

3 Hand painted Illuminated and Calligraphic Costume designs for a Mime play done in Birmingham under the direction of Christopher M Edmunds (see BBC Midlands Light Orchestra and this Opera, other piece in the Birmingham archives) or possibly POSTER designs, believed to have been performed for one of the Festival of Britain events in 1951. The paintings done with oil based colours with raised lettering and raised gilt shields, signed and sated within the images, two dated 1950 and one 1951. Each uniform in size and they measure, approx 22 x 6 inches. The vellum they are painted on is fine quality and they have been laid on the thicker card. We know the artist went to the Slade School in London and believed to have been born in 1930, making her 20-21 when these were done. Little is seen or attributed to her in artist records, but the exemplary work done here obviously for a "special" commission for this musical performance of Maurice Baring's 1911 book "Diminutive Dramas". The detail and style of the faces and positioning of the figures are reminiscent of the work of Eric Gill or Sheila Jackson and exquisitely done. High quality illustrative art. (3).
