About

Why this artist matters now

Gertrude Hermes was a British wood-engraver and sculptor whose practice spanned both intimate printmaking and three-dimensional form. Active from the 1920s onward, she was a founding member of the English Wood Engraving Society and exhibited regularly with the Society of Wood Engravers, the Royal Academy, and The London Group. Her dual engagement with the precision of engraving and the spatial demands of sculpture positioned her work at the intersection of two distinct formal vocabularies during a formative period for British modernism.
