Description: | Stanislawa De Karlowska took this view from a vantage point near the British Museum. It looks towards the western side of Russell Square and its junction Montague Place. Typically, De Karlowska has studied her subject from above.
Russell Square, one of London's biggest squares, is not often depicted by artists. Its western side is the only one that retains some of James Burton's original early-19th-century houses.
Born in Russian Poland, Karlowska was a rural and urban landscape painter. She studied art in Warsaw and Krakow, and at the Acad��mie Julian in Paris.
In Paris, Karlowska met her future husband Robert Bevan, who had a great influence on her style. After marrying in 1899, the couple moved to England. Both were founder members of the London Group in 1913. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Bridgeman Copyright Service | Subjects: | Cityscape Art and Design | Temporal: | 1931-1935 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
