Key Works

Molly Lamb Bobak has been well recognized for her lively sketches and paintings of army life during and immediately after the Second World War. Her finest works—her paintings of modern life rendered in a style uniquely her own—deserve far more attention than they have received. Her innovative crowd scenes, delicate wildflowers, and complex interior compositions all testify to her skill in capturing the scene around her wherever she lived. As a professional artist, she experimented with different styles and worked in many media—oil and watercolour, drawing, printmaking, and illustration.
