Edith Varian Cockcroft 1881-1962, 'Valley in Pont-Aven, 1923', 31 x 39', Oil on canvas.
...In 1898, Cockcroft traveled to France where she would meet and briefly study with Henri Matisse (1869-1954), who had a profound influence on her work for the rest of her life. During trips to Nice and Cagnes, she would be introduced to and become a friend of Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919). Although it was rumored that she and her friend Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) were lovers, it was probably unfounded. Gauguin, like Matisse, would also have a great deal of influence over her work, which shows in many of her figurative paintings and her later Haitian works. ...continued at www.roughtongalleries.com.
