Peter White, “Sybil Andrews”, Glenbow Museum, Calgary, 1982, pages 22 and 63, no. 55, illustrated in colour.
Sybil Andrews' linocuts often shifted between representational and abstract. In “Sails”, the artist presents a myriad of shapes- the sharp blues, yellows and greens of the sails revealing the artist's fascination with rhythm and movement. Andrews elevates the subject from the ordinary world of everyday life through her masterful arrangement of form and colour, interpreting the theme with her dramatic and highly animated style.
