Description:
Dorothy Josephine Coke
RWS, NEAC (1897-1979) was a
painter,
chiefly in watercolour,
and printmaker of landscapes, town scenes, still life,
and portraits.
Born at Southend-in-Sea
in Essex she studied art at the Slade
School under Tonks, and
although she had a thorough
training in oil painting, she became more interested in
drawing and watercolour and in the 1920s and 1930s also in
printmaking. Dorothy Coke exhibited widely, including at the
Royal Academy,
Royal Watercolour Society, and the New English Art Club and
she was elected NEAC 1919, ARWS 1935, and a full RWS member
1943. In 1940 she was appointed an official war artist and
concentrated on painting the womens' services. Her work is
represented in the Imperial War Museum.
At that
time she began to teach at Brighton
College of Art
and remained
there
until 1963.
She lived at Rottingdean in East Sussex from 1938.
The present work is an original wood engraving, pencil
signed and titled 'Old Barns, near Folkestone'. It measures
about 5 x 6.4 inches image size on a full sheet with deckle
egdes measuring 8 x 11 inches. An example of this engraving
was exhibited at the New English Art Club in 1926. It is in
very good condition and is mounted but not framed...
