Evelyn De Morgan (1855 –
1919) was a painter who defied the expectations of her class and gender to
become one of the most impressive artists of a generation. Her richly coloured
canvases featuring beautifully draped figures, deliver messages of feminism,
spirituality and the rejection of war and material wealth, making them
incredibly relevant today.
A.M.W. Stirling (26 August
1865, London – 11 August 1965) was the author of several books dealing mostly
with the lives and reminiscences of the British landed gentry of Yorkshire. She
was also the founder of the De Morgan Centre for the Study of 19th Century Art
and Society.
