Dame Laura KnightDBE RA RWS (néeJohnson; 4 August 1877 – 7 July 1970[1]) was an English artist who worked in oils, watercolours, etching, engraving and drypoint. Knight was a painter in the figurative, realist tradition, who embraced English Impressionism. In her long career, Knight was among the most successful and popular painters in Britain. Her success in the male-dominated British art establishment paved the way for greater status and recognition for female artists.[2]
In 1929 she was created a Dame, and in 1936 became the third woman elected to full membership of the Royal Academy.[3] Her large retrospective exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1965 was the first for a woman. Knight was known for painting amidst the world of the theatre and ballet in London, and for being a war artist during the Second World War. She was also greatly interested in, and inspired by, marginalised communities and individuals, including Romani people and circus performers.[2][4]
