Ethel
Louise Spowers
Ethel Louise Spowers was a painter, printmaker and illustrator,
best known for her fairy tale illustrations and linocuts. She
studied art in Melbourne, London and Paris. Her first solo show
consisted of images of fairies inspired by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite.
A student of Claude Flight and the Grosvenor School, Spowers'
linocuts "attracted critical attention for their bold, simplified
forms, rhythmic sense of movement, distinctive use of colour
and humorous observation of everyday life, particularly the world
of children."
