Evelyn Gibbs RE (Lady Willatt) (British, 1905-1991) Stones I signed lower right "Evelyn Gibbs" pen, ink and watercolour h:39 w:55 cm Provenance: The Drian Galleries, 5-7 Porchester Place, Marble Arch, London, W1, 1962. Evelyn Gibbs was working at Goldsmiths College in London when war broke out and she and her students were evacuated to Nottingham. In 1943 she formed the Midland Group of Artists; the group painted murals at five locations in the Midlands but the ones at St Martin's Church, completed in 1946, are thought to be the only one to have survived. Gibbs was asked by the government to make drawings of women workers at the Raleigh bicycle works in Nottingham, which was then being used to make munitions. Several of her works are in the Imperial War Museum in London. Under glass and all four corners look to be stuck down with glue visible.
