China Clay - Moonrise
China Clay - Moonrise. 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Florence Mary Anderson, also known as Molly MacArthur, created this exquisite monotone woodcut print titled "China Clay - Moonrise" in the 1920s. Having previously gained recognition for her highly-decorative fairy art, Anderson underwent a creative transformation around the middle of the decade, shifting towards a more oriental style. This distinctive change in her artistic approach is evident in "China Clay - Moonrise," which showcases her mastery of monochrome woodcut techniques. The title of the artwork, "China Clay," is a reference to the earthy material mined primarily in Cornwall, England, and China, which shares a similar name with the Asian country. The moonrise, depicted in the background, casts an ethereal glow over the landscape, adding a sense of tranquility and mystery to the scene. Anderson's use of intricate lines and delicate shading creates a textured and visually captivating image. The artist's ability to convey the serene beauty of the moonrise over the undulating hills of China Clay is a testament to her artistic prowess. This woodcut print is a perfect example of Anderson's unique style during the 1920s, a period of significant artistic growth and evolution for the talented illustrator. "China Clay - Moonrise" is a beautiful and timeless piece that continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and evocative imagery. This artwork is a must-have for collectors of vintage woodcut prints and those who appreciate the artistic achievements of the 1920s.
