Alison Rehfisch b. 1900

Also known as Alison Baily Rehfisch, Alison Baily Green
  • Artist
Alison Rehfisch was deeply influenced by theosophy and spiritualism. Her tendency to mysticism found expression in the new Modernist vision to reveal the truths of nature such as rhythm, line, colour and mass thus revealing its dynamism. Cézanne, Braque, El Greco and Chagall provided inspirations for her portraits and still life compositions.
