Elizabeth Nourse
Date: 1927
Credit Line: Terra Foundation for American Art, Daniel J. Terra Collection
Object number: 1999.101
Text Entries: Flower Market at Notre Dame and Rue d'Assais are intimate, evocative treatments of scenes that would have been quite familiar to Elizabeth Nourse, who made Paris her home for half a century. Between her arrival in France in 1887 and the First World War, Nourse traveled extensively across Europe in search of subjects for the peasant scenes - in particular, images of peasant women about their domestic tasks - for which she is best known. In 1924 she retired from a career filled with accolades from the art establishment both in France and the United States, and began to paint only for her own pleasure, maintaining the impressionistic style she had developed as a young, academically-trained expatriate artist from Cincinnati. Remarkably, she supported herself and her unmarried sister Louise through the sale of her art for the duration of their adult lives.
