Evelyn Mary Dunbar (18 December 1906 – 12 May 1960) was a British artist, illustrator and teacher.[1] She is notable for recording women's contributions to World War II on the United Kingdom home front, particularly the work of the Women's Land Army. She was the only woman working for the War Artists' Advisory Committee on a full-time salaried basis. Dunbar had a deep devotion to nature and a particular affection for the landscape of Kent. Dunbar was modest regarding her achievements and outside of the post-war mainstream art world which has led to some neglect of her work until recent years.[2][3] She painted murals at Brockley County Secondary School, and was a member of the Society of Mural Painters. After the war she painted portraits, allegorical pictures and especially landscapes. She attempted a return to mural painting in 1958 with a commission at Bletchley Park Teacher Training College (which was renamed Lady Spencer-Churchill College, and finally incorporated into Oxford Brookes University),[4] but was unable to fulfil the original specification.[5]
