630.Pa83Description
Lucy L’Engle is an American painter born and raised in New York City. She later attended the Arts Student League in Proxavincetown with Charles Hawthorne and Academie Julian in Paris with Albert Gleizes. Her style was most associated with Cubism after her time working in Europe. Later in her artistic career, L’Engle adopted a more individualistic style that implemented elements of abstraction, but focused on figures and landscapes. Her gloomy rendition of the Truro dunes is unlike any others in the collection, evoking a sense of melancholic eeriness of the Cape during the winter months.Artwork Details
