Gertrude Hermes

Gertrude Hermes is now considered to have been one of the most creative female wood engravers of her generation and one of the most accomplished exponents of the white-line technique. Her engravings are both dramatic and highly stylised in their approach, reflecting her training as a sculptor in their remarkable interpretation of form. Gertrude Hermes was a close friend of both Henry Moore and Leon Underwood, working together with them on a number of joint ventures.
