Portrait of Lucie Beynis (c.1929). Grace Crowley (Australian, 1890-1979). Oil on canvas on hardboard. Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney. Completed following four years of study in Paris, Lucie Beynis depicts a professional model whom Crowley painted over a period of four mornings whilst attending L'Academie Lhote.Lhote’s modified version of Cubism was one in which the human figure is retained, held within a field of dissecting geometric planes and shafts of colour running through the body. -- source link
