Lucy L’Engle
Abstract

About the Item

Lucy L'Engle was born in New York City and attended the Art Students League in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where she studied with Charles Webster Hawthorne in Provincetown. Subsequently, she studied in Paris with Albert Gleizes. She moved to Provincetown permanently three years later, continuing a life-long relationship with the Cape End. L'engle worked extensively in cubism early in her career, but moved masterfully through a range of schools and styles. She explored abstract, figurative, and realist art without boundaries, creating works of breathtaking achievement. This provocative work in oil could fit with a number of the movements which L'engle mastered, but not perfectly with any of them, making the style distinctly her own. It is tempting to find in this work a connection with her daughter Madeleine’s beloved novels, including A Wrinkle in Time.

The complete installation includes 52 original works that are each 10 x 10 inches. Can be hung in an assortment of ways. The artwork comes with a template for installation as shown below. The series started following 9/11 with the bombing of the World Trade Center in NY. and continues to today. Stephanie Peek's "Uniform Language" is a constellation of small painting on alabaster-coated wood panels featuring camouflage patterns of nations worldwide.
