EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Helen McKie (1889-1957), a renowned artist and illustrator whose work graced the pages of The Bystander and The Graphic magazines during the First World War and the 1920s. Known for her poignant depictions of social scenes involving soldiers, McKie's illustrations brought the realities of the war to life for readers. In addition to her work for The Bystander, she also illustrated the In England - Now column and Blanches letters. At the time this portrait was taken, McKie was holding an exhibition of her work at the prestigious Brook Street Gallery in New Bond Street, London, in 1919. Dressed in a simple yet elegant blouse and with a thoughtful expression, McKie gazes intently at the viewer, her artistic spirit evident in every line of her face. The portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a talented woman who used her art to capture the essence of her time. McKie's work during this period was not only a reflection of the historical context but also a testament to her unique artistic vision. Her illustrations were a powerful means of communication, conveying the emotions and experiences of the war and its aftermath to a wide audience. This portrait, featured in The Bystander at the time of her exhibition, serves as a reminder of McKie's significant contribution to the world of art and illustration during a pivotal moment in history.
