The artist Molly Moss: Creativity, Communism and Community
​
by Catherine Layton
​

I am posting here, with the blessing of the author Catherine Layton, her marvellous article about the artist, Molly Moss. As well as being an artist, 'Moll' was a leftist and the wife of the communist John Sommerfield - and among many other things, illustrated the first edition of Sommerfield's Trouble in Porter Street (you can see some of her drawings here).

Many thanks to Catherine for sharing her scholarship and for the two images below.
