About Ethel Carrick

This fine British landscape painter concentrated on depicting fascinating studies of Paris, the Côte d´Azur, the Tyrol and Amsterdam. She was also an extremely skilled floral artist and created delightful market scenes. She exhibited at the Salon d´Automne, the Nationale and the Indépendents. In 1904 she met Emmanuel Phillips Fox in Paris, and in 1905 they were married.

During the following years they toured Italy and Spain together and in 1908 visited and exhibited work in Melbourne. Returning to Australia in 1913 they were much admired by a younger generation of local artists for the bright colours of their French-influenced paintings. The following year they visited Tahiti where they were both particularly impressed by Gauguin´s work.
