Lilla Cabot Perry

Lilla Cabot Perry (January 13, 1848 – February 28, 1933) is an American artist who works in the American Impressionist style, rendering portraits and landscapes in the free form manner of her mentor, Claude Monet.

Perry is an early advocate of the French Impressionist style and contributes to its reception in the United States.

Perry's early work is shaped by her exposure to the Boston School of artists and her travels in Europe and Japan.

She is also greatly influenced by Ralph Waldo Emerson's philosophies and her friendship with Camille Pissarro.

Although it is not until the age of thirty-six that Perry receives formal training, her work with artists of the Impressionist, Realist, Symbolist, and German Social Realist movements greatly affects the style of her oeuvre.
