The upcoming exhibition at Guildhall Art Gallery highlights the works of Evelyn De Morgan, a distinguished Pre-Raphaelite artist celebrated for her diaphanous paintings depicting feminist themes and spiritual messages. The exhibition not only features her notable canvases, but it also gives insights into her artistic process, studies from her time at the Slade School of Art, and references her engagement with London's cultural landscape. It includes works from various exhibitions and paintings responding to WWI, aimed at supporting the Red Cross, signifying her commitment to social causes. Furthermore, the exhibition emphasizes De Morgan's legacy and her husband William's ceramics.
Evelyn De Morgan's richly coloured canvases, featuring beautifully draped figures laden with messages of feminism, spirituality, and the rejection of war and material wealth, won her many high-profile admirers.
