Gladys Williamson (1914 - 2007) 'Lady With A Parrot' (1931) - original painted design for a poster Collage and Gouache 43 x 38.5 cm Gladys Williamson was a Welsh artist best known for her poster designs, for which she received many high profile commissions in the 1930s. Though little is known about the artist's life - indeed, as auctioneer David Roger-Jones noted "it sadly seems as though she didn't like to talk about how successful she'd been during the 1930s", it is believed she studied at Liverpool Art College in the late 1920s, before working at an exclusive London fashion house. Here she made dresses for the Royal Collection - including garments for Queen Mary and Princess Marina. This dynamic poster exemplifies the glamorous graphic work she presumably produced during her time at the fashion house. Regrettably the artist left behind her successful career to move to the Netherlands around 1936, but her impressive body of work she leaves behind is a testament to, Roger Jones noted, her "cutting-edge style."
