Eveline Syme was part of a newly independent generation of women artists able to study overseas with avant-garde teachers in England and France during the 1920s and 1930s. Following her studies in Classics at Cambridge University, Syme would forge an artistic career alongside other modernist women artists whose circles overlapped through art societies and philanthropic social clubs. An inveterate traveller and multilinguist, the rhythmic energy and underlying geometry of Syme’s prints reflects the progressive teachings of Claude Flight in London and cubist André Lhote in Paris. Privileged yet deeply philanthropic, Syme was committed to women’s education and remained active within progressive exhibiting circles throughout her life.
