Isabel de Bohun Lockyer

Isabel de Bohun Lockyer (1895–1980) was a British painter known for her linocut color prints. She worked as an independent artist and mostly depicted landscapes.

Career Lockyer was one of the few linocut artists at the time who was not associated with the Grosvenor School, a collection of artists and students who were primarily responsible for a resurgence of interest in printmaking and particularly linocut after World War I. Her earlier work followed closely in the tradition of woodcut due to her use of water-based inks, but later her technique showed influence from the work of Claude Flight, one of the heads of the Grosvenor School, who invited her to exhibit her prints at some of his annual British linocut exhibitions during the 1930s. Lockyer's work was also exhibited from 1925–1938 in association with the Society of Painter-Gravers.

Most of Lockyer's prints are landscapes, several of which feature scenic views from Switzerland, Dalmatia, and Corfu in addition to England.
