Member's Talk: Tirzah Garwood by James Russell

An illustration of a train travelling through a field.

James Russell is an art historian and curator with a passion for 20th century British art and design. He first became fascinated by Tirzah Garwood twenty years ago and, after a long period of research, curated the exhibition 'Tirzah Garwood: Beyond Ravilious'. It ran at Dulwich Picture Gallery from November 2024 to May 2025 and was the first major exhibition of her work since her Memorial Exhibition in 1952.

Garwood was a one off: a wonderfully talented wood engraver, painter and creator of collages and marbled papers, and a woman of extraordinary imagination.

Available to book from 2 April.
