Thank you, Fiona. And thank you also for sharing the links and your personal connection. I love her work, and it was an absolute pleasure to put together the collection.
Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful artist. My mother was in the Land Army, and these paintings give me a glimpse into the times she lived through (she died when I was young, so no chance to ask her about her experiences).
Victoria, what a joy it is to spend a part of my day appreciating this art. I spend so much time with words that it is good for my eyes and my soul to spend some time with art like this. I appreciate you curating it for us.
What a stunning collection of paintings. And they give such a wonderful picture of women’s lives during the war. Thank you - this post has given me joy on a very dreich day.
Wonderful illustrations of the era my mother and aunt as young women lived through - such activities and experiences as would have been told to me resurrected from my memory just now Thankyou Victoria.
Thank you for this collection, Victoria. I think they're all new to me though I was introduced to Evelyn Dunbar's paintings by an exhibition at Pallant House in Chichester a few years ago. What I particularly enjoyed in the Pallant show was the depiction of movement, and I see that again here. Even the seated motionless mother is in a rocking chair :-)
Absolutely captured everything you set out to embrace here, really a beautiful presentation of this artists spirit. I’m so loving this and thank you sincerely. Really very special.
Such a joy to see these wonderful paintings once more. Evelyn Dunbar was a close friend of my parents and an important person in my childhood. She died far too young.
Thanks Victoria for sharing these. Evelyn Dunbar was my great-aunt (indeed, her portrait entitled 'The Cerebrant' is of her husband, my great-uncle Roger Folley). There is biographical information about most if not all of these paintings on my dad's blog https://evelyn-dunbar.blogspot.com/, as well as in his biography of Evelyn: Evelyn Dunbar: A Life in Painting. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Evelyn-Dunbar-Painting-Christopher-Campbell-Howes/dp/152620584X
