I didn't include information on the artists who painted the pieces in the Advent Art Devotions I'm offering this year, but thought I might give a little background on them on Instagram as a way to share the art with everyone. 😊 I meant to do this on Sunday, which was the beginning of Advent (and the Liturgical year), but, well, life. 🤷‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the first week of Advent, I chose a piece done by Scottish artist Ann Macbeth in the early part of the 20th century. She was born in Bolton, East Lothian, in 1875 and was more well known for her embroidery (image 2) and design work than her paintings. She began attending the Glasgow School of Art in 1897 and became a teacher there just 7 years later, guiding students in lessons on metalwork, bookbinding, and ceramic decoration. In 1908, she was appointed head of the Embroidery Department and around that time also published a book on 'Educational Needlecraft' (image 3 - available on archive.org) with a fellow teacher. I think it might make a wonderful handicraft book (image 4) if anyone is interested in adding embroidery to their homeschool!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Her designs and art fall squarely into the Glasgow Style that was specific to her location. This movement had primarily Art Nouveau influences, but I think her work also has a Pre-Raphaelite feel to it as well. Either way, as soon as I saw this piece, I knew I wanted to include it!
