Biography
Hilda May Gordon (1874-1972). British archaeologist and painter. Studied under Frank Brangwyn and Sir Hubert von Herkomer at the Bushy School of Art and joined Brangwyn on a painting trip to Italy in 1900. A significant part of her paintings consists of tens of aquarelles painted in Palestine around the year 1900. Although inspired by the Orientalist academic trend, some individual shades can be traced in Hilda May Gordon's small paintings, in particular her tendency towards the light cloudy shade, and her remote view which is always one of a curious but cautious tourist.She set off travelling for a few months in 1922 and ended up going on a trip around the world, which lasted six years. During this time she visited India, Kashmir, Tibet, Burma, Thailand, Indonesia, China and Japan and produced a large body of watercolour paintings - the product of her keen ability to render people and the atmosphere of exotic places in colourful compositions.
