Attr to Gwendolen Raverat (1885-1957) British, O/C
Est: $200 - $400
Attributed to Gwendolen Raverat (1885-1957) British, Oil on Canvas. "The Black Piano". Titled verso. Gwendolen was an English wood engraver who was a founder member of the Society of Wood Engravers. Raverat was one of the first wood engravers recognised as modern. She went to the Slade School in 1908, but stood outside the groups growing up at the time, the group that gathered around Eric Gill at Ditchling and the group that grew up at the Central School of Arts and Crafts around Noel Rooke. She was influenced by the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists and developed her own painterly style of engraving. There was some similarity between her early engravings and those of Gill, and she did know Gill, but the similarity was based mostly on her black line style at the time, influenced by Lucien Pissarro, and the semi-religious themes that she then chose. One of her first wood engravings to appear in a book was "Lord Thomas and Fair Annet" in The Open Window (1911), which also featured a wood engraving by Noel Rooke. Overall Size: 19 x 22 1/4 in. Sight Size: 14 1/2 x 17 1/4 in. #2215

GWENDOLEN RAVERAT (BRITISH 1885-1957) The Fisherman woodcut 5.5 x 11.8 cm Certificate of Authentication from the Raverat Archive (on the reverse) NOTES: Gwendolen Mary Darwin was born in Cambridge in 1885; she was the daughter of astronomer Sir George Howard Darwin and his wife, Lady Darwin (née Maud du Puy). She was the granddaughter of the naturalist Charles Darwin She married the French painter Jacques Raverat in 1911. They were active in the Bloomsbury Group and Rupert Brooke's Neo-Pagan group until they moved to the south of France. Raverat was one of the first wood engravers recognised as modern. She went to the Slade School in 1908. Raverat played a significant part in the wood engraving revival in Britain at the beginning of the twentieth century. By 1914 she had completed sixty wood engravings, far more than any of her contemporaries. Her name recurs consistently in all contemporary reviews, and the first book devoted to a modern wood engraver was Herbert Furst's Gwendolen Raverat. She illustrated the first book illustrated with modern wood engravings, Spring Morning, and she exhibited at every annual exhibition of the Society of Wood Engravers between 1920 and 1940, exhibiting 122 engravings, more than anyone else.
