Sybil Andrews — The Winch
Sybil Andrews

The Winch

A dynamic linocut print by the British-Canadian artist Sybil Andrews, *The Winch* showcases her signature bold lines and rhythmic composition to capture the powerful movement of industrial labour. The work demonstrates Andrews' masterful use of colour reduction and interlocking forms, characteristic of the Grosvenor School of Modern Art style she helped define. This impressively rare example is numbered 20/50, from a limited edition that also included five experimental proofs, and bears the artist's pencil signature and title within the image itself.

Medium
Signed, titled and numbered 20/50 in pencil in the image (there were also 5 experimental proofs), framed.
