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.
