Yvonne Pène du Bois

Yvonne Pène du Bois (1913–1997) was an American artist who specialized in architectural subjects and landscapes. She received her art education privately from her father, Guy Pène du Bois, and as a student at the Art Students League. She once said that her three greatest influences were her father, artist Edward Hopper, and architect Hugh Ferriss. She said she intended her paintings to evoke emotions and to be expressive rather than analytic. She worked almost entirely in oil-on-canvas. She painted in her studio from sketches made in the field.
