Tirzah Garwood was an exceptional artist but had the disadvantage of plying her trade at a time when female artists struggled for recognition. Having married Eric Ravilious in 1930 she followed the conventions of the time, giving up her wood engraving to be a wife, later a mother, and to support the career of her husband. Often overlooked in the history of English art and design this blog seeks to showcase her undoubted talent as a wood engraver, painter and designer to a wider audience. Tirzah’s first two wood-engravings, in 1926 were ‘Spring’ and ‘March’ part of the ‘Four Seasons Series’. These were exhibited at the 8th Annual Exhibition of the Society of Wood-Engravers at the Redfern Gallery, Mayfair in 1927. More wood-engravings followed and received praise in The Times in 1927. Quirky and sometimes surreal, Tirzah’s wood engravings are a complete contrast to the more rural subject matter of Eric Ravilious. Tirzah had few superiors, displaying great technical skill, her wood-engravings equal to anything produced by Ravilious - Artistic Horizons blog
