Betty Lane trained in Paris under André L'Hote, earned the admiration of Duncan Phillips, Henri Matisse, and André Breton, and maintained a lifelong commitment to painting across oil, watercolor, and printmaking—yet her work has remained largely overlooked. Marc Selwyn Fine Art, in partnership with Almost Forgotten Women Artists, presents eight of Lane’s paintings spanning 1929 to 1947, tracing her rigorous practice as it moved from Cubist-inflected landscapes to biomorphic surrealism to bold American folk painting.
