'Whatever Uglow writes about she makes absolutely fascinating.'
DIANA ATHILL The story of Sybil Andews and Cyril Power, two artists
who changed each other in an age of experiment and turmoil. 'In all
her books, she makes us feel the life behind the facts.' GUARDIAN
'Wonderfully sharp and sympathetic . . . Uglow is a perfect
biographer.' CRAIG BROWN, MAIL ON SUNDAY In 1922, Cyril Power, a
fifty-year-old architect, left his family to work with the
twenty-four-year-old Sybil Andrews. They would be together for
twenty years. Both became famous for their dynamic, modernist
linocuts, streamlined, full of movement and brilliant colour,
summing up the hectic interwar years. Yet at the same time they
looked back, to medieval myths and early music, to country ways
disappearing from sight. Cyril & Sybil traces their struggles
and triumphs, conflicts and dreams, following them from Suffolk to
London, from the New Forest to Vancouver Island. This is a world of
Futurists, Surrealists and pioneering abstraction, but also of the
buzz of the new, of machines and speed, shops and sport and dance,
shining against the threat of depression and looming shadows of
war.
