The Giant Stride
Ethel Spowers
Circa: 1933
With vibrant colors and dynamic forms, The Giant Stride captures the joyful energy of a Maypole dance, a traditional celebration of spring and renewal. Ethel Spowers, a key figure in the Grosvenor School of Modern Art, was known for her lively depictions of movement and youth. In this linocut, the figures, caught mid-dance with ribbons in hand, demonstrate the perfect balance between rhythm and abstraction, as Spowers’ geometric approach celebrates both human vitality and the natural world.
