"Flower Market," Ethel Carrick, 1907.
Yesterday I featured a work by the Dean of Impressionists, Camille Pissarro; today I have one of his students, Ethel Carrick (1872-1952).
Carrick, British by birth, married Australian painter Emanuel Phillips Fox and with him lived in France until 1913. There she painted this delightful flower market scene. She was a respected figure in the Parisian art world and was a jury member for a number of exhibitions.
At the outbreak of WWI, she and her husband moved to Australia, where she devoted her time to painting and work for the Red Cross. When Fox died in 1915, she traveled around Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, painting and exhibiting.
She didn't promote herself as much as she promoted her husband's work, urging galleries and museums to buy his work. However, in recent years his style has come to be seen as overly stodgy, while hers as more original, adventurous and experimental, and she's being rediscovered by a new generation of art lovers. In the 90s her Asian paintings were exhibited to great acclaim, and she's been the subject of a number of retrospective exhibits.
Happy Flower Friday!
