China Clay - Cover. Florence Mary Anderson / Molly MacArthur (1893-1972) had two distinct styles of illustration. From the middle of the 1920s, she moved on from earlier highly-decorative fairy art to produce beautiful monotone woodcuts in a distinctly oriental style. This artwork (as seen here) was produced under the name Molly MacArthur, or F.M. MacArthur.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "China Clay" and created under the name Molly MacArthur or F.M. MacArthur, showcases the distinctive oriental style that Florence Mary Anderson adopted in the mid-1920s. A departure from her earlier, highly-decorative fairy art, MacArthur's monotone woodcuts exude an ethereal beauty that transports the viewer to another world. Produced in 1922, this artwork is a testament to MacArthur's artistic versatility and her ability to capture the essence of the Far East through her unique lens. The intricate details in the patterned fabric, the delicate brushstrokes on the figure, and the subtle shading all contribute to the overall harmony and balance of the composition. MacArthur's use of monochrome in this piece enhances the simplicity and elegance of the design, while the title "China Clay" adds a touch of mystery and intrigue. The title could be a reference to the clay used in pottery, which is a significant part of Chinese culture, or it could be a metaphor for the delicate and fragile nature of the subject matter. This beautiful woodcut print is part of The Florence Mary Anderson Collection, held by Mary Evans Picture Library. It is a reminder of the rich artistic legacy of Florence Mary Anderson, who continues to inspire and captivate audiences with her timeless illustrations.
