Biography
Painter, was born on 1 April 1920 in Kent, England. Molly Pascall studied at the Medway School of Art, Rochester (1932-36) and at the Royal College of Art (1940-43) then taught at the Chesterfield School of Art. In 1945-46 she taught at the Girls’ School, Alexandria in Egypt where she married Douglas Stephens in December 1945. In 1951 the family came to Smithton, Tasmania. Molly moved to Hobart in 1954. She accompanied Max Angus and Patricia Giles on regular painting excursions, and she worked on portrait commissions, particularly of children. Her matter-of-fact classic surrealism is evident in Saturday Noon , oil on canvas 122 × 81 cm, n.d. (Nevin Hurst 2002, cat 82, $4,750): three women boiling the billy for a picnic on rocks near the sea – one naked brunette, another brunette in her underclothes and a dressed, barefooted, blonde pigtailed child who is opening the picnic basket.
