Lot Essay

Sybil Andrews was a founding member of the Grosvenor School, and mastered lino-cutting under Claude Flight. Andrews and her contemporaries regarded sport as an ideal way to exercise their ideas of speed and movement, so presenting the human body as a rhythmic and dynamic machine. Between 1929 and 1937 she worked under the pseudonym 'Andrew Power'. This was a tribute to Cyril Power, with whom she shared a studio and collaborated at the time.
