Sybil Andrews, CPE (British/Canadian, 1898-1993)

Golgotha (Coppel SA 15)
Linocut printed in pale yellow ochre, pale spectrum red, crimson and alizarin purple madder, 1931, on buff oriental laid tissue, signed, titled and numbered 47/60 in pencil top right, with margins, 310 x 208mm (12 1/8 x 8 1/8in)(B)(unframed)

Footnotes

With the outbreak of the second world war Andrews took a break from printmaking and emigrated to Canada. She restarted her linocuts in 1946 with a deeply rooted religious theme. Golgotha was the first of about 20 linocuts that Andrews made on this theme. Although she was not particularly a religious person she had always been captivated by drama in the life of Christ.
