[117785] Sheffield : Graves Art Gallery - Landscape with Figures

Graves Art Gallery, Surrey Street, Sheffield.

Landscape with Figures.

Jessica Dismorr (1885-1939).

Oil on panel, c1911-12.

 

This oil painting, although undated, is similar in style to Dismorr's works dated about 1911-12. At this time she had finished studying at the Slade School of Art and was associated with the Scottish Colourists. Like the Colourists, Dismorr has used strong and vibrant colours, verging on abstraction.

 

It was shortly after this period that she became involved in the Vorticist movement, along with Wyndham Lewis and eleven other artists. These artists aimed to create art that expressed the dynamism of the quickly changing modern world and its new Technologies.
