Fine Art Prints From Mary Evans Picture Library
China Clay - The Cang
China Clay - The Cang. Florence Mary Anderson / Molly MacArthur (1893-1972) had two distinct styles of illustration. From the middle of the 1920s, she moved on from earlier highly-decorative fairy art to produce beautiful monotone woodcuts in a distinctly oriental style. This artwork (as seen here) was produced under the name Molly MacArthur, or F.M. MacArthur.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This monotone woodcut print, titled 'China Clay - The Cang,' is a beautiful example of the later works of Florence Mary Anderson, also known as Molly MacArthur. Created in the 1920s, this artwork represents a significant shift from her earlier, highly-decorative fairy art. The Oriental-inspired style, which she adopted in the middle of the decade, is evident in the intricate details and delicate lines that define this stunning piece. Anderson's use of monotone woodcut technique adds depth and texture to the image, creating a sense of timelessness and elegance. The subject matter, China Clay or 'Cang' in Chinese, is depicted with a sense of reverence and mystery. The title 'China Clay' refers to the natural mineral resource that is a primary component in the production of porcelain and other ceramics. The word 'Cang' in Chinese means 'warehouse' or 'storehouse,' adding an additional layer of meaning to the artwork. MacArthur's mastery of the woodcut medium is evident in the intricate patterns and precise lines that define the clay jars and the delicate folds of the fabric that drapes over them. The muted color palette further enhances the overall effect, creating a serene and meditative atmosphere. This artwork, produced under the name Molly MacArthur or F.M. MacArthur, is a testament to Anderson's versatility and artistic growth. It is a reminder of a bygone era when artists were able to explore various styles and techniques without commercial pressure, allowing their creativity to flourish and evolve.
