Elizabeth Sorrell (painter)
Elizabeth Sorrell (1916–1991) (nee Tanner) is remembered as being one of the finest water-colourists of her generation. Her work was a combination of total mastery of her technique with attention to detail, whether she was observing the fine structure of the natural world, or the textural quality of lace, silk, porcelain etc.〔Illustrated London News 7 November 1970〕 “In earlier years, I painted a good deal outdoors, but as circumstances compelled me to be indoors more than out, I have more recently found my self evolving a sort of animated still-life picture”.〔The Artist Magazine November 1973〕 She developed Rheumatoid arthritis in her late 40's, but managed to carry on working to the highest standard until the very end of her life using the finest 000 brushes which she had to hold between her thumb and second finger. In 1979 John Stanton Ward RA wrote of her:
"When she was at the Royal College of Art, Elizabeth Sorrell sought out Professor Tristram, the greatest authority on medieval art, and persuaded him to let her spend most of her time in the mural painting department. Her she came across and was encouraged by Paul Nash. One might speculate whether the Tristram contact was the beginning of her interest in medieval art, since she resolutely claims to be of the English School of Watercolourists. And this she sees as going back to medieval times, to the illuminated manuscripts of the 12th and 13th Centuries. For some time now it has been clear that she is one of the finest and most original watercolourists working today".〔New Grafton Gallery Elizabeth Sorrell Exhibition catalogue 1979〕
== Early life ==
Her early years were spent in a mining village in North Yorkshire, but her family moved to Eastbourne when she was eight. She studied at Eastbourne School of Art (1934-8) and the Royal College of Art (1938-41),〔 The Life Class at the Royal College of Art in Picture Post, December 24th 1938〕 and was part of the group of students who were evacuated to Ambleside in 1940.〔The Artist as Evacuee: The Royal College of Art in the Lake District, 1940-1945 by Robert Woof, published by the Wordsworth Trust 1987〕 She was awarded many scholarships, diplomas and medals, including a travelling scholarship to Paris and Italy (1937), Federation of British Industry Award First Prize (1940), and a RCA gold medal for work of special distinction (1941). Her painting Troops In Ambleside (1941) is in the collection of the Wordsworth Trust.
