BIO
Lill Tschudi (1911-2001) was a prominent figure in the Grosvenor School of Modern Art* and is known primarily for her colourful and lively linocut work. Her early work explored technological advancement and the dynamism of the modern world. She later focused on sporting themes as her subjects, and after 1945 her style shifted to abstraction.
Lill Tschudi was born in the village of Schwanden, high in the mountains of eastern Switzerland. The village is known for its textile heritage, and Tschudi briefly experimented with designs for textiles when she put certain of her images onto pillow and cushion cases. She is now known almost exclusively, however, for her colour linocut work.
Tschudi was first introduced to the linocut when she saw an exhibition of the colour cuts of animals by Norbertine Bresslern-Roth (1891-1978) whilst still at school. After school she noticed an advertisement in The Studio inviting applications for a training programme specialising in linocuts at The Grosvenor School of Art, London.
Lill Tschudi attended The Grosvenor School briefly, from 1929-30, but throughout her life she maintained a close working relationship with the Grosvenor School linocut* tutor Claude Flight. He encouraged her, supporting her career and acting as a point of liaison in England whilst she worked abroad.
Her early work clearly demonstrates his influence. Flight was inspired by the concerns of the Italian Futurists* and by Vorticism*. He encouraged the depiction of a modern man-made world full of technological advancement. Tschudi explored this subject matter in her famous linocuts of motor-car racing and the London Underground.
From 1931-33, Tschudi lived in Paris and studied with the Cubist artist Andre Lhote, then with the Futurist Gino Severini at the Academie Ronson, and finally under Fernand Lger at the Academie Moderne.
Whilst in Paris she focused on the life of the city; young browsers at a news-and-print stand; bill posters; and for several of her most captivating prints, jazz music. Later on she took sporting themes as her subjects; circus tumblers, gymnasts, cyclists, runners and, like Sybil Andrews, she often depicted men at work.
Tschudi returned to Schwanden, Switzerland in 1935, but she continued to produce linocuts. Over her lifetime Tschudi produced 355 linocuts. She sent work to London regularly and received high critical acclaim. One London critic wrote: she seems to seize activity on the wing, and fix it in her linocuts.
Purchases soon followed from, amongst others, the Vand A and the British Museum. Her work is now held in major print collections around the world and was featured extensively in the (2008) exhibition British Prints from the Machine Age - Rhythms of Modern Life 1914-1939 at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

BIO
Sybil Andrews was a printmaker, painter, graphic artist and educator who was born in Bury St. Edmonds, Suffolk, England. She moved to London (England) in 1922. In 1947, she emigrated to Campbell River (Vancouver Island) British Columbia, Canada, where she worked, taught and lived for the rest of her life. She died at a hospital in Victoria (B.C.)
Her mediums were the colour linocut (1) (most famous), etching, posters, pastels, ink, watercolour, monoprint and oil. Her subjects were human activity (at work, sports, travel, etc.), figures, animals, genre, allegory, architecture and landscape. Her style was Art Deco (see AskART styles), Futurism, Cubism and Vorticism (2). Her work is identified by a simple format, clean lines, distortion, vivid colours, drama and rhythm.
Quote: "The colour linocut was just the medium for me, being interested in dynamics and ideas and patterns... It is impossible to be fussy with lines, you have to simplify, you are forced to simplify your idea to its fundamentals." Andrews produced 76 linocuts in her life, of which 43 were made from 1929 to 1939, which is considered to be her best period.
John Hassall's art correspondence course (1918) was the beginning of her formal art education. She went from there to Heatherley's School of Fine Art (London/1922) where she studied under Henry Massey (see AskART) and met artistic partner Cyril Power (see AskART). At the same time, she studied independently with sculptor Henri Glicenstein (see AskART) who taught her drypoint etching and to draw from life.
She also attended the Grosvenor School of Modern Art (1925). Iain McNab (1890-1967) was Principal and Claude Flight (3) (see AskART) an instructor who had a great influence on her choice of linocut as a primary medium. Some of his other students and her associates were Edith Lawrence (1890-1973), Lill Tschudi (1911-2001), Eileen Mayo (see AskART) and William Greengrass...
