Young Woman on the Beach
My daughter Peyton was given a lovely book on Impressionists for her birthday. It’s one of those fantastic Taschen volumes – and this painting was on the cover of Volume 2. It’s aptly named Young Woman on the Beach (1886-88) and was painted by Philip Wilson Steer - a leading British Impressionist and the founder of the New England Art Club (which was for flunkies who couldn’t get into the Royal Academy).
Flunky or not… I love this painting. I can’t stop looking at it. It reminds me of those Richard Segalman beach paintings that I adore.
