Edith Rimmington "The Decoy" 1948
Here's yet another artist from the past I'm appalled to have not heard of before now. Edith Rimmington was a member of the London surrealist community in the 30s and 40s, and her work is lovely lovely. Sadly, I was not able to find many examples of it online, but there are a few great ones reproduced in the most excellent book Women Artists and the Surrealist Movement
this is amazing... I'm going to hunt down some books on Edith Rimmington now... holy cow, thanks for sharing.

Hi just stumbled on here searching for Edith Rimmington's "Sister of Anarchy", just wondering if I could find a reproduction in the ook you suggested.
Oh and by the way in case you didn't know the piece I have mentioned is hanging at Leeds art Gallery if you want to see more of her works and other British Surrealists in person.
thank you xxx
