JULIAN
CAMPBELL :
Mary Swanzy was born in Dublin in 1882. She studied modelling with
sculptor John Hughes in Dublin, then attended summer classes in Paris
c. 1906-1907. She glimpsed pictures by Picasso and other modern artists
in Gertrude Stein's house. At home she painted portraits, then
travelled in the South of France, Czechoslovakia and the South Seas.
She settled in London, and continued painting into her nineties.
Swanzy's style varied
considerably, from free landscape of Ireland, slightly influenced by
Hone, to « fauve » paintings of
Samoa, cubist studies and imaginative allegories.
