Gladys Rockmore Davis (May 11, 1901 – February 16, 1967) was an American artist who worked in both commercial and fine arts. She gave up a career in advertising art to work in creative painting. Her work in pastels ranks with her oils, and her chief subjects are children, nudes, and still lifes. She also painted ballet dancers, vignettes of liberated Paris, and scenes of Spain. An art critic once called Davis "the ten-year wonder of United States art".[1] Her husband Floyd Davis and her son Noel Rockmore were well-known artists as well.
