Biografie van de kunstenaar

Marriage and Social Life

  • Marriage to Henry Manners: In 1882, at age 26, Violet married Henry Manners, the heir to the Duke of Rutland. Their marriage was noted for its contrasting personalities – he a conservative politician, she described as “bohemian.”
  • Social Circle & The Souls: She became a prominent member of The Souls, an aristocratic group valuing intellectualism and avant-garde art. This circle significantly influenced her life and artistic pursuits.
  • Family Life & Speculation: They had five children, but questions arose regarding the paternity of two daughters – Lady Violet (possibly by Montagu Corry) and Lady Diana (possibly by Harry Cust).

Artistic Development & Style

  • Early Exhibitions: She began exhibiting her drawings and sculptures in 1877 at the Grosvenor Gallery, founded by her cousin Coutts Lindsay.
  • Portraiture Focus: Her work primarily focused on portraits of members of her social circle. While considered a dilettante by some, she successfully captured the elegance and beauty of her subjects.
