They would be together for twenty years. Both became famous for their dynamic, modernist linocuts--streamlined, full of movement and brilliant color, summing up the hectic interwar years. Yet at the same time, they looked back to medieval myths and early music, to country ways that were disappearing from sight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJenny Uglow's \u003ci\u003eSybil \u0026amp; Cyril: Cutting Through Time\u003c\/i\u003e traces their struggles and triumphs, conflicts and dreams, following them from Suffolk to London, from the New Forest to Vancouver Island. This is a world of futurists, surrealists, and pioneering abstraction, but also of the buzz of the new, of machines and speed, of shops and sport and dance, shining against the threat of depression and looming shadows of war.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJenny Uglow\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many prizewinning biographies and cultural histories, including \u003ci\u003eThe Lunar Men: The Friends Who Made the Future \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eIn These Times: Living in Britain Through Napoleon's Wars, 1793-1815\u003c\/i\u003e.
