Hermes, Gertrude (1901–1983)

English printmaker and sculptor. A highly skilled technical engraver, whose style is predominantly post-cubist, her works include the bronze Kathleen Raine (1954) and Ring Net Fishers (1955), both at the Tate Gallery, London. From 1930 she collaborated with the printmaker Blair Hughes-Stanton (1902–1981) at the Gregynog Press in Wales.

She was chosen to represent Great Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1939, and was elected to the Royal Academy in 1971. Her work was also exhibited at the Paris and New York World Fairs.

Hermes was born in Bromley, Kent, and studied at the Beckenham School of Art before training at Leon Underwood's School in London alongside the sculptor Henry Moore and Hughes-Stanton, whom she married in 1926.
