Lucy Angeline Bacon (July 30, 1857 – October 17, 1932) was a Californian artist who studied in Paris under the famous Impressionist Camille Pissarro. She is the only known Californian artist to have studied under any of the great French Impressionists.
Personal life
Born in 1857[citation needed] in Pitcairn, New York.[1] Bacon graduated by 1879 from the Potsdam Normal School in New York.[1]
She was encouraged to pursue art by her family, including her brother Albert Vickery. She was related to Robert K. Vickery by marriage. In the 1890s, he was a part-owner of a San Franciscan gallery, Vickery, Atkins & Torrey.[2]
Education
Bacon studied in New York City at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design. In 1892 she left for Paris to continue her studies[3] at the Académie Colarossi.[4] She then studied with Camille Pissarro, as advised by American painter Mary Cassatt.[3]
Career
She then moved to Éragny and made Impressionist paintings. By 1898, she lived in San Jose and was exhibiting paintings such as A San Jose Garden at the San Francisco Art Association.[5] She moved to California in the hope of improving chronic illness.[citation needed] She taught at Washburn School in San Jose[6] and painted from her home studio.
In the spring of 1902, her works were exhibited at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art in San Francisco.[7] In 1905, while Lucy Bacon renounced her painting career and devoted herself to religion, possibly finding it eased her health problems, she continued to teach art. By 1909, she was living in San Francisco.[citation needed] Lucy Bacon was a member of the Indian Fair Committee of the New Mexico Association on Indian Affairs (NMAIA) and Eastern Association on Indian Affairs (EAIA) in 1927, which exhibited works by Native American artists.[8] She died in San Francisco in 1932.[1]
Garden Landscape, made between 1894 and 1896, is among the collection of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.[9]
