  • FLORENCE CARLYLE, O.S.A., A.R.C.A.
Provenance:

Private Collection, Kingston

Literature:

Evelyn de Rostaing McMann, The Royal Canadian Academy of Arts: Exhibitions and Members, 1880-1979, University of Toronto Press, Toronto, 1981, page 62, cat.no.31 for Peeling Potatoes listed.

Susan Butlin, The Practice of Her Profession, Florence Carlyle: Canadian Painter in the Age of Impressionism, McGill-Queen’s University Press, Kingston & Montreal, 2009, page xviii.

Note:

Like many women of her era, Carlyle painted what she knew best, the so-called “spaces of femininity” where women engaged in quotidian household tasks or partook in social events.

However, unlike many women painters of her day, Carlyle was not a hobby painter but an accomplished professional artist and in 1897 was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy as an Associate Member.
