Beholding Florence Susan Harrison's artworks I am swept away by their noble, haunting beauty. Her illustrations are regal, mostly of women; always of lingering grief or sadness, a deep, moving loss. I find these images incredibly lovely, flooded with refined emotion. Such poignant masterpieces. I hope you like them, too. Happy weekend!
Florence Susan Harrison
(1877–1955)
Please read about Harrison's life, the fascinating mystery, and wonderful discovery of her true identity at the FlorenceHarrison website. Be sure to view the delightful gallery of original artwork, too! Thank you to those people whose tireless research is bringing about the recognition and credit Harrison deserves.

LOVE. All these artists you've been highlighting all seem to have a similar style, which I love.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
I am a fan of Florence Harrison too. However, you should know that "Emma Florence Harrison" was not the illustrator of these pictures. She was misidentified due to lack of information. The real artist is now known to be "Florence Susan Harrison".
ReplyDeleteMy book on both of these artists will soon be released. Watch for it.
Cheers,
Sandy
