1860 -1930 · Ontario, Toronto, Paris, Montreal and Canadian impressionism
Laura Adeline Muntz was born in 1860 in Warwickshire and emigrated as a child with her family to Ontario. After working as a teacher, she studied at the Ontario School of Art then moved to Paris in 1891. For several years at the Colarossi Academy, she developed a language nourished by naturalism and impressionism, exhibiting at the Salon and carefully observing interiors, women and especially children. Muntz refuses the easy sentimental anecdote. In Interesting Story, the young models become closer around a book; looks, gestures and light reflect a shared concentration.
