In Full Cry

Printed from 3 blocks in Chinese orange, spectrum red and Prussian blue.

While Andrews made many images of the city, she, like other Grosvenor School artists, also created numerous prints of athletic events and other physically challenging endeavors in rural environments, with a particular focus on equestrian activities such as steeplechases and hunts. Andrews reinvented this traditional genre by applying a machinelike aesthetic to it (perhaps inspired by her work as a welder in an airplane factory during World War I), thus enabling her to convey the same sense of motion and power found in her other works. The velocity and potential for danger that she captures with motorbikes in Speedway (1934), for instance, are also present here, in a work depicting riders mounted on horses in mid-jump, following hunting dogs likely in pursuit of a fox.
