Ivy Attwell's World Travels

Feeling uplifted today by our new collection of brilliantly vibrant 1950s gouaches from the world travels of Ivy T. Attwell (1895–1985) (relative of the celebrated children's illustrator Mabel Lucie Attwell (1879–1964)). Her distinctive compositions fill the picture plane with sweeping coastal bay or elevated veranda, giving sense of panoramic snapshot and unfolding human activity—of which the viewer is both a part and an observer.
