About the Item
Marta Sawyers. Illustrator Journalist. She was sent to war-ravaged countries to “Paint the Story”.
What's unique here? This represents the work an Artist Journalist/War Correspondent. The magazine art director sent her to "draw the war". Trailblazing Sawyers was in China on an on-location magazine assignment. Adventure and danger mix with academic art training and a passion to paint. The work is brilliantly rendered in a quick post-impressionist style. Her study at the Art Student League in New York equipped her with sound academic skills. Notice how wonderfully structured the figures are, not a line out of place. Signed and dated lower left
