Fourt Courts Press Releases WILHELMINA GEDDES: LIFE AND WORK

Wilhelmina Geddes (1887-1955) was a vital figure in the Irish Arts and Crafts movement and the 20th-century British stained glass revival, producing remarkable stained glass and other works of power and originality. On her death she was described as 'the greatest stained glass artist of our time' but since then she has been largely forgotten. This magisterial account aims to bring Geddes, her world and her work to the wider audience that she deserves. Concentrating on the stunning stained glass for which she is best known but also including other media such as printmaking and textiles, this study draws on hitherto-unpublished primary sources and images to fully celebrate Geddes' remarkable artistic achievement.
