1864-1943 Born in London to a family of lauded painters...she certainly established her own persona. Firstly, she shirked Victorian mores & enjoyed a profoundly successful career. Secondly, she mastered her art. Thirdly, she received her status at a time when there were countless, storied sporting painters. In terms of expression & character...her work is peerless. She obviously knew dogs & was not merely painting a thing. The result is that she in fact, captured the soul of her subjects...however briefly! By 1916, she had emigrated to New York, where she enjoyed well-deserved renown. She passed away in 1943 & is buried at the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, NY. I'm thrilled to say that I have a signed Whippet lithograph of hers... Comments are closed.

AuthorHowl-O! I'm Julia Jensen- devoted student of dogs & religious sampler of cheesecake, wheat beer, huehuetenango coffee & almost any chocolate out there. I indulge these fancies & more, in the remote silence of the pacific NW. *PLEASE NOTE* The videos selected for bloghism could be construed as "disturbing" to those of certain bents, sensitivities, natures, mind-sets, etc.. I have a distinct interest in relaying footage of dogs doing what they have been doing for centuries....& in some cases, I also include dog show footage just as a matter of interest. If you do not like my selections, by all means, do not view them. Archives
