Dr. Grace Pailthorpe

Dr. Grace Pailthorpe is a Surrealism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Grace Pailthorpe made watercolours like Abstract with Eye and Breast in 1938, playing with shape and symbol. She belonged to no named movement, working in a quiet, private way. Each sheet feels like a puzzle piece: curves lock with slashes of colour, leaving the eye to wander. Tap Abstract with Eye and Breast to step inside that puzzle and trace the lines yourself.
