Farmer with four mules in the Texas Panhandle, 1936 Dorothea Lange
MWW Artwork of the Day (3/24/20) Dorothea Sharp (British, 1874-1955) A Girl on a Sunlit Quayside, St. Ives (c. 1900-10) Oil on canvas, 51 x 61 cm. Private Collection
Having studied and painted in France, Dorothea Sharp was clearly aware of the work of Claude Monet and the Impressionists and her masterful use of light and shade echoes the techniques of her French counterparts. Her choice of subject matter and tender treatment of the children who appear so often in her work is reminiscent of the work of the renowned women Impressionists, Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt.
The Editor of "The Artist" praised Dorothea Sharp as 'one of England's greatest living woman painters', and commented upon the particular attraction of her art: "No other woman artist gives us such joyful paintings as she. Full of sunshine and luscious colour, her work is always lively harmonious and tremendously exhilarating ... the chief attractions of Miss Sharp's delightful pictures are her happy choice of subjects, and her beautiful colour schemes. Rollicking children bathed in strong sunlight, playing in delightful surroundings, her subjects appeal because they are based on the joy of life. And she presents them equally happily, with a powerful technique which enables her to make the most of her wonderful sense of colour."
