Description
This lavishly illustrated book celebrates the life of Doris and Anna Zinkeisen, charting the rise of the sisters from a childhood in Scotland, to their emergence as amongst the most eminent artists of their day in London, to a quieter yet still highly productive life during their twilight years in rural Suffolk. It also marks the recent purchase by the Colchester and Ipswich Museums Service of a glamorous Zinkeisen portrait to add to the Ipswich Borough collections.During the golden age from the 1920s through to the 1950s, the Zinkeisen sisters enjoyed a huge success and won numerous accolades. Their paintings and design work, including posters, murals for luxury ocean liners, and costume designs for stage and film, are today emblematic of that period in British art.
