ABOUT THIS WORK
In addition to her almost 80 celebrated modernist color linocuts, Sybil Andrews also worked in the monotype technique. She typically produced two or three impressions (or pulls) from each hand-painted plate, each proof unique in its qualities of color values and vibrancy. In 1933, Sybil Andrews and Cyril Power had an exhibition of their color monotypes and linocuts at the Redfern Gallery. Most of Andrews' monotypes were destroyed by a fire in an Ottawa gallery in 1959, and they now rarely come to the market.
ABOUT THE IMAGE
The Hostellerie des Chiens du Guet is a small hotel at the edge of the beach of Bon Secours in the historic island city of Saint-Malo, in the Brittany region of northwestern France. Saint-Malo was named for Maclou, or Malo, a Welsh monk who fled to Brittany, making his headquarters on the island, in the 6th century. The island was not substantially inhabited until the 8th century when the population of the surrounding district sought refuge there from the Normans. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Saint-Malo supported navigators, traders, and privateers, becoming wealthy from local extortion and overseas adventures. In 1944, the Allies heavily bombed Saint-Malo, destroying three-fourths of the city, which was later rebuilt. Following the war, the city became a popular tourist center, with a ferry terminal serving the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey, as well as the Southern English settlements of Portsmouth, Hampshire, and Poole, Dorset.
Andrews created many of her impressionist-inspired monoprints while vacationing in the picturesque towns and countryside of Brittany.
