A Blonde
Unlike members of the Cubist or Modernist movements, Kenyon Cox (1856-1919) was an American illustrator and art instructor whose work infused allegory with naturalism. His 1891 painting "A Blonde" was criticized at the time of its unveiling for being "too realistic," said Bruce Weber, senior curator of the National Academy Museum in New York.
