“Guards”

“Guards”. Lill Tschudi. 1936.

This beautiful Duille fine art print features Guards a linocut by Swiss artist Lill Tschudi.
Tschudi was a modernist pioneer known for linocuts of which she made over 300 during her career.

This dynamic print frames a moment from a parade of marching guards; an image likely originating from her time in London where she studied at The Grosvenor School of Modern Art.

About the work
Lill Tschudi’s work is held in many museum collections including The V&A, The Art Gallery of New South Wales and The Metropolitan Museum.

Guards was one of a series of linocuts made following her studies at The Grosvenor School of Modern Art, London under Claude Flight, a linocut pioneer. She later exhibited with Flight and other printmakers from the School. Many of her linocuts show athletes, transportation, workers and musicians. Movement captured from these everyday activities give the works a strongly modern sense which resonates to this day.

Made to last
This is a hand-finished, museum-quality archival print made using materials which will last for many years. It is printed in archival quality pigment inks on Somerset Velvet 255gsm acid free paper reproducing the original work. This heavyweight mould-made paper won’t yellow or degrade like inferior products. Our prints will stay true, bright and beautiful for years.

About giclée
