About
the Cape Cod School
The
Cape Cod School of Art was instituted by Charles Hawthorne
over 100 years ago. Hawthorne, a contemporary of Monet,
developed a method of impressionist painting, which he
taught in New York and Provincetown, MA. Henry Hensche,
Hawthorne's assistant and bridge to the next generation
of Cape School painters, continued teaching this method
throughout his own career. Lucas's teachers, Hilda Neily,
Cedric Egeli and Lois Griffell are the contemporary masters
of this style and students of Hensche, who handed down
this lineage to Lucas.
