Procter, Dod

    0.01 sec.

Procter, Dod (1892–1972)

English artist and traveller. Her painting Morning was acclaimed picture of the year in 1927 and purchased by the Daily Mail for the Tate Gallery, London. Her work has a rounded, sculptural quality which has been attributed to the early influence of cubism. She was elected a member of the Royal Academy in 1942.

Procter was born in London. She studied at Elizabeth and Stanhope Forbes's painting school at Newlyn, Cornwall, then attended the Atelier of Colarossi, Paris, in 1910. She first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1913. In 1920 a commission to design the decoration for the Kokine Palace, Rangoon, with her husband artist Ernest Procter (died 1935), awakened a life-long interest in travel.
