Tirzah Garwood (1908–1951) was a multi-talented artist and designer whose life was tragically cut short when she died of breast cancer aged only 42.
Eileen Lucy “Tirzah” Garwood was a British wood-engraver, painter, paper marbler, author, and a member of the Great Bardfield Artists.
According to Brighton & Hove Museums, Garwood “is one of the most original and distinctive figures of twentieth century British art
Her brilliance as a wood engraver and maker of marbled papers was acknowledged in her lifetime, but her early death meant that few were able to enjoy her captivating, collaged house ‘portraits’ and enigmatic oil paintings.
She prompts us to see the amusing, absurd and uncanny in the detail of everyday life.
Garwood’s engravings were imaginatively conceived and precisely executed. They abounded in wry observations and witty juxtapositions.
