Frances and Florence met in 1906 at the Chicago Art Institute, where Florence was a teacher and Frances a student. Immediately forming a connection that would endure the rest of their lives, they moved together in 1910 to a studio in bohemian Greenwich Village, before relocating to the more conservative city of Toronto. Removed from the Modernist movement that began to sweep the United States soon after their departure, Frances and Florence took up residence in a converted church where they entertained such prominent Canadian artists as Emmanuel Hahn, Elizabeth Wyn Wood, and Group of Seven member A.Y. Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>And Beauty Answers by Elspeth Cameron reexamines the Girls\u2019 careers, from their early days struggling to be recognized in a man\u2019s profession, to their final days in separate rooms of a nursing home. Whatever the full extent of their relationship, the Girls continue to be defined as much by the bond they shared as by the works they created. And Beauty Answers explores a partnership that helped shape the landscape of Canadian art.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Further reading &#8211; <em>The Girls : a biography of Frances Loring and Florence Wyle<\/em> by Rebecca Sisler.
