Description: From Jenny Uglow one of our most admired writers a beautifully illustrated story of a love affair and a dynamic artistic partnership between the wars. In 1922, Cyril Power a fifty - year - old architect left his family to work with the twenty - four - year - old Sybil Andrews. They would be together for twenty years. Both became famous for their dynamic modernist linocuts streamlined full of movement and brilliant color summing up the hectic interwar years. Yet at the same time they looked back to medieval myths and early music to country ways that were disappearing from sight. Jenny Uglow's Sybil & Cyril: Cutting Through Time traces their struggles and triumphs conflicts and dreams following them from Suffolk to London from the New Forest to Vancouver Island. This is a world of futurists surrealists and pioneering abstraction but also of the buzz of the new of machines and speed of shops and sport and dance shining against the threat of depression and looming shadows of war.
