Lill Tschudi was just eighteen when she enrolled at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in 1929. She studied under Flight for six months but the pair maintained a close friendship throughout the 1930s and she continued to contribute prints to his annual linocut exhibitions throughout the decade. Tschudi continued her studies in Paris between 1931 and 1933, studying with the French cubist painter André Lhote as well as the Italian futurist Gino Severini. She also studied with French painter Fernand Leger, whose machine- like forms were popular with many of the linocut artists.
