Cyril Power (1872 - 1951) Christ's College, Cambridge Etching 23 x 15 cm Titled and numbered 45/168 lower left and signed lower right, all in pencil. Cyril Power was an English artist. His father was the architect Edward William Power and encouraged him to practise architectural drawing. Power studied architecture and won the Royal Institute of British Architects' Sloane Medallion in 1900 for his design for an art school. He worked as an architect at the Ministry of Works and later lectured on architecture at Goldsmiths and what is now the Bartlett School of Architecture. His A History of English Mediaeval Architecture, a book of architectural illustrations and designs, was published in 1912. In 1918, Power met the artist Sybil Andrews, with whom he worked for two decades. He co-founded The Grosvenor School of Modern Art in 1922; he and Andrews attended Claude Flight's linocutting classes there. Linocut exhibitions followed at the Redfern Gallery and then further afield. Frank Pick, the Deputy Chairman of the Underground Electric Railways Company of London, commissioned Power and Andrews to design a series of posters for him after seeing their linocut work. In 1930 Power was elected member of the Royal Society of British Artists and established a studio with Andrews in Hammersmith close to the River Thames, a location which inspired many prints by both artists, most notably 'The Eight' by Power and 'Bringing in the Boat' by Sybil Andrews. Their first major joint exhibition was at the Redfern Gallery in 1933 which consisted of linocuts and monotypes.
