Du Mond, and taking courses in landscape painting with John Fabian Carlson in New York state. Following her studies, she returned to Canada and established a studio in Montreal. In search of new landscapes, Mount traveled all-over North America, driving to Banff in 1934, and to Victoria and Yellowstone Park, Wyoming in 1937. She then turned east, painting in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, the Gaspe, and elsewhere in Quebec. Throughout her travels, she sketched and painted. Her work, combining impressionism and decorative realism, has been shown at the Continental Galleries, Watson Art Galleries, Klinkhoff Gallery, Morency Frères Ltee (all in Montreal), the New York World’s Fair (1939), the Coronation Exhibition, London, England, and the British Empire Overseas Exhibition. A member of the Independent Art Association, she also participated in exhibitions of the Ontario Society of Artists, the Art Association of Montreal and the Royal Canadian Academy, of which she was elected an associate in 1938.

"Plowing at Sunrise, " Art Deco Paean to the Black Farmer, 1930s
By Willis Lohse
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Beautifully conceived, dramatically set and very finely painted, this gouache and ink painting by Willis R. Lohse is a paean to the hard work and nobility of the black farmer in America, hat in hand as he marvels at the beauty of the day. Full of lovely colors -- lemon yellow, cerulean and fresh green -- Lohse captures a lovely moment where the farmer pauses to look upward, amidst sprays of birch trees and expanses of rolling fields. Lohse was a German-American artist who is best known for his illustrations for fiction and fantasy books published between the 1920s and 1950s, including "The Boy Who Found the King," "Raff, the Jungle Bird...

"Smelling the Rose", Stunning Painting by Marie Laurencin in Gray & Taupe, 1930
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Beautiful and affecting, this gentle depiction of a young woman holding a rose, her hair embellished with clusters of pearls and her dress evincing a fashionable patchwork of colors à la Paul Poiret, is by Marie Laurencin, and was painted as the basis for a print she issued. Laurencin -- whose paintings are being celebrated in a major exhibition at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia now -- is known for her focus on lovely women painted in delicate shades of blue, pink and gray, with dark eyes and blushing lips, as here. This painting, executed in gouache and watercolor, may have served as a study for a larger painting in oil...

"Five Josephs, " Important Art Deco Painting w/ Male Nudes, Provincetown, 1930s
By William L'Engle
Located in Philadelphia, PA
An extraordinary example of Art Deco painting with allegorical meaning -- like so many murals painted in the 1920s and 1930s -- this large work by William L'Engle depicts five nude male figures laboring in the field, symbolizing life in Provincetown, Massachusetts. A Black male figure in the foreground is planting crops, while two other figures in the distance are pulling a rope, perhaps alluding to fishing boats tied up at the dock, while another nude seems to be sinking into sleep beneath a pier -- all with the waters of the Atlantic Ocean in the background. L'Engle called this "The Five Josephs," perhaps referring to Joseph of Arimathea and other figures in the New Testament. William L'Engle was a towering figure in the Provincetown art colony, and was extremely well connected with America's artistic elite, starting with his trip to Europe as a young man with Waldo Pierce and George Biddle. Over time, William and his life Lucy became close to a wide range of important figures in painting, theater and the arts, including Charles Hawthorne, Eugene O'Neill, Gerrit Beneker, John Dos Passos, Edmund Wilson and Mary McCarthy, William and Marguerite Zorach, Edna St. Vincent-Millay, Charles Demuth, Childe Hassam, George Biddle, Edwin Dickinson...
