Isabel Rawsthorne is often remembered as an artist’s muse rather than an artist in her own right. Recently 4 works were gifted to the Ferens Art Gallery and in 2021 Carol Jacobi published the monograph Out of the Cage, the Art of Isabel Rawsthorne. In this talk Carol tells Rawsthorne’s story, while highlighting her significance as an artist.
