EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1927, Doris Margaret Shaw, better known as Dod Procter, is seen beaming with pride as she poses for The Sketch magazine following the acquisition of her painting "Morning" by the Daily Mail for presentation to the nation. Procter, an English artist born in 1890, was a prominent figure in the art world of the 1920s. Married to fellow artist Ernest Procter, she was a prolific painter whose works often depicted the beauty and tranquility of the English countryside. The acquisition of "Morning" by the Daily Mail marked a significant moment in Procter's career. The painting, which was exhibited at the prestigious Royal Academy, was purchased for the nation's collection, bringing her work to a wider audience and securing her place in art history. The 1920s were a golden age for British art, and Procter's work was celebrated for its sensitivity and charm. In this photograph, Procter is dressed in the fashionable attire of the era, with a simple yet elegant dress and a hat adorned with a feather. Her expressive face and bright eyes convey a sense of excitement and accomplishment. The backdrop of the photograph, with its ornate frame and bookshelves filled with art books, adds to the intellectual and artistic atmosphere. This image captures a moment in time when Procter's talent and hard work were recognized and celebrated by the art establishment and the wider public. It serves as a reminder of the importance of patronage and support for artists, and the role that art can play in bringing joy and inspiration to people's lives.
