Artist

Florence Claxton

Florence Claxton is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Florence Claxton’s father ran a print shop, and she grew up cutting out engravings before she could spell her name. In The Choice of Paris: An Idyll she turns a classic myth into a peevish satire of Victorian morals, Paris looks bored, the goddesses are overdressed, and Cupid naps in the corner. If you like the dry humor of Hogarth but want it in watercolor, tap this work and watch the nudes eye-roll.
