Featured Artists
Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known for her portraits, self-portraits, and
works inspired by the nature of Mexico. Kahlo had been a promising student
headed for medical school until she suffered a bus accident at the age of 18,
which caused her lifelong pain and medical problems. During her recovery, she
returned to her childhood interest in art. In 1927 Kahlo met fellow Mexican
artist Diego Rivera. The couple married in 1929, and spent the late 1920s and
early 1930s travelling in Mexico and the United States together. During this
time, she developed her artistic style. In 1938 the artist André Breton arranged
for Kahlo’s first solo exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in 1938;
the exhibition was a success, and was followed by another in Paris in 1939.
From the exhibition The Louvre purchased a painting from Kahlo, The Frame,
making her the first Mexican artist to be featured in their collection. Kahlo’s
work as an artist remained relatively unknown until the late 1970s, when her
work was rediscovered by art historians and political activists.
Edward Hopper
Edward Hopper was born in Nyack, New York. After leaving high school he studied at the New York School of Art. In 1906 he visited Paris and became influenced by the impressionists. In 1910 Hopper returned to New York and in the following years painted some of his most recognisable paintings. In 1923 he married Josephine. Although they lived in New York they spent much of their time and most of their summers in Massachusetts where he painted the architecture and the landscapes in and
around Cape Cod.
Cedric Morris
Cedric Morris was a British artist, art teacher and plantsman. He was born in Swansea in South Wales, but worked mainly in East Anglia. Cedric grew up in Sketty, South Wales. On leaving school he spent his younger years intermittently abroad, regularly travelling across Europe and North Africa, whilst renting studios in
Cornwall, Paris and London. In the 1930s, Cedric and his partner, the artist Arthur Lett-Haines made Suffolk their permanent base, moving to Pound Farm in Higham where his garden became much admired. Morris developed a post-Impressionist style for portraits, landscapes and highly decorative style for still-life.
Laura Knight
Dame Laura knight was an English landscape and figurative painter. Laura studied at Nottingham School of Art in 1900, where she met Harold Knight. After marrying in 1903, they joined an artists' colony at Staithes, Yorkshire, before moving in 1908 to Newlyn, Cornwall. In 1936 she became only the second woman elected to full membership of the Royal Academy. Her large retrospective exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1965 was the first for a woman. In her long career, Knight was among the most successful and popular painters in Britain. Her success in the male-dominated British art establishment paved the way for greater status and recognition for women artists. She was also greatly interested in, and inspired by, marginalised communities and individuals, including Romani people and circus performers.
