In celebration of Darwin's

Marianne Stokes 1855 - 1927
Born in Austria as Marianne Preindlsberger, she studied art under Lindenschmidt
in Munich, and won prize money there that enabled her to travel and
study in France where she met the Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck.
Together they sought out the right places for 'plein air' social realism,
and were attracted to Pont Aven in 1883, and it was there that Marianne
met Adrian Stokes: they were married the following year. The couple
moved to St Ives and both became leading figures in the art colony there.
Along with Elizabeth Armstrong Forbes, Marianne Stokes was considered
one of the leading women artists in Britain of their time. This touring
exhibition complements an exhibition of Adrian Stokes's work, curated
by Magdalen Evans, on show concurrently at the Royal Cornwall Museum,
Truro.
