LUCY BROWN L'ENGLE View of Taxco.

LUCY BROWN L'ENGLE View of Taxco. Oil on board, 1932. 760x610 mm; 30x24 inches. Signed and dated in oil, lower right recto, signed and titled "View of Taxco" in pencil, verso. Ex-collection Perimeter Gallery, Boston, with the label verso; sold Freeman's, Philadelphia, November 5, 2006, lot 100; private collection of Betty and Douglas Duffy (owners of Bethesda Art Gallery); thence by descent to current owner, private collection, Houston. L'Engle (1889-1978) was born to an affluent family in New York City and gained an interest in art at an early age. She studied at the Art Students League and the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown, as well as the Académie Julian in Paris with Albert Gleizes (1881-1953). In Paris she defined her first artistic style—Gleizes influenced her greatly in the early years in her career as she drew upon Cubism. While in Paris she met her husband, William J. L'Engle (1884-1957), a fellow artist. The couple lived in New York City and spent their summers in Provincetown. She joined the Provincetown Art Association in 1918, and in 1925 she co-founded the New York Society of Women Artists. While her work drew upon Cubism early on, her style varied over the years as she experimented with abstraction as well as realism, not feeling the need to be tied to or associated with a particular style.

Lucy L'Engle attended the Art Students League, and subsequently the Academie Julian where she studied with Albert Gleizes. She shared a kindred spirit with her husband, and not surprisingly, their work was mutually influenced. Like her husband, her body of work consists mostly of figuration, particularly of dancers. In the 1950s to 1960s, however, Lucy experimented with geometric abstraction that differed from her husband's in its focus on surface texture and materials.
