Collection: Ethel Spowers

Ethel Spowers (1890-1947) was an Australian artist from Melbourne. In 1929 she travelled to London to study linocut printing under Claude Flight at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art, alongside artists such as Cyril Power. Her prints turn everyday scenes, often of children at play, into lively patterns of movement and colour, as in The Giant Stride. Back in Melbourne she helped bring the modern linocut to Australia.
