Description
This painting of a classic nude at a pool, "Hilda at the Pool," is both a portrait and a landscape. Leon Kroll rejected Modernism to triumph in the beauty of Classicism.
During his lifetime, Leon Kroll was one of the USA's most productive and successful artists of the 20th century. He is a classicist, and his portraits and landscapes are based on observation and knowledge. Kroll's work gets better the closer the viewer gets to the canvas so that one can marvel at his simultaneous
understated yet complex painting technique. Kroll makes it look so easy.

Kroll was born in New York and studied at the Art Students League under John Twachtman and at the National Academy of Design. Between 1908 and 1910, Kroll studied in Paris at the Académie Julian; during these years, Kroll discovered Paul Cézanne, the influences of whom are readily apparent in early works. Upon returning to America, Kroll's work was exhibited in 1913 at the Amory Show. By the 1920s he had begun teaching, at the National Academy of Design and at the Art Institute of Chicago.
During the 1930s Leon Kroll and his wife Geneviève (whom he had met in France) began spending time in Gloucester's Folly Cove neighborhood, not far from the Babson Farm Quarry (known today as Halibut Point). In 1944 they purchased a property there, and for the rest of their lives divided their time between Cape Ann and New York. The Krolls and their daughter, Marie-Claude, quickly formed friendships with many of the other artists living and working in the area including Paul Manship, Walker Hancock, Virginia Lee Burton Demetrios and George Demetrios." -
