Title:	The Deserted Limekiln
Artist:	Godfrey, William Frederick George 'William Godfrey' (London, England, 1884 - Toronto, 1971)
Date:	c. 1935
Medium:	Original Woodcut
Note:	William Frederick George Godfrey 'William Godfrey': The name of William Frederick George Godfrey has long been associated with the finest Canadian graphic artists of the early twentieth century. Born in Britain, William Godfrey studied architecture before immigrating to Canada in 1910. In Toronto he studied art techniques with Carl Ahrens and Frederick Challener. William Godfrey became a member of the Canadian Society of Graphic Arts in 1924 and initially exhibited his drawings and drypoint engravings with that association. By 1930, however, the medium of the woodcut had emerged as his primary form of artistic expression. Within a decade his superb work in this medium was regularly exhibited both in Canada and in international expositions. W. F. G. Godfrey became a full member of the Canadian Painter-Etchers in 1931 and assumed its presidency in 1943 and 1944.
	As an artist, William Godfrey displayed a powerful sense of design and texture. Scholars have compared his woodcut art to both Leonard Hutchinson, in Canada, and Rockwell Kent, in the United States. Regardless, Godfrey's very personal, rhythmic lines and forms created a great impact upon the art of the woodcut in Canada, and The Deserted Limekiln is clearly one of his finest works. The large majority of William Godfrey's woodcuts date from the Depression era of the 1930's.
