Abstract
Marion Richardson was a revolutionary art teacher and schools inspector. First published in 1948, her book Art and the Child is one of the most remarkable educational documents of the period between the first and second world wars. This article reviews Richardson's philosophy and practice of art and suggests its continuing significance for the teaching of art today.
