— Loveday and Ann: Two Women with a Basket of Flowers, 1915.
Painting: oil on canvas, 67 x 67 cm. Tate.
Frances Hodgkins came to Britain in 1901 from the confined artistic scene of New Zealand. Spending long periods in Cornwall, home to the Newlyn and St Ives Schools, and in Paris, where she taught at the Académie Colarossi, Hodgkins ploughed her own furrow. In typically individualistic style, this portrait combines the mobility of watercolour with the intensity of oil, showcasing the artist’s idiosyncratic drawing and quirky sense of colour.Source
