Dame Laura Knight RA (1877-1970) was the first female member to be
elected to the Royal Academy of Arts, submitting Dawn, her now
famous painting of two female nudes, as her Diploma Work in 1936.
In 1965 the Academy's major retrospective of her work recognised
her importance in British art. This autumn an exhibition of
Knight's drawings opens at the RA. Drawing was a key part of her
practice, and allowed her to capture at speed her various subjects,
which include travellers, circus performers, boxers, ballet dancers
and ice skaters. Drawing allowed her to capture with immediacy the
exuberant life of her models, as well as being a vital recording
tool when she witnessed one of the most important events of the
twentieth century: the Nuremberg trials. In this new publication on
the artist, Annette Wickham and Helen Valentine present the
Academy's holdings of her drawings with an in-depth analysis
focused on three key subjects within her work: the nude, the
working woman and country life.
