Her work is held in private collections and at several museums, most notably the Museum of Modern Art and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Her preferred mediums were oil paint and ink.〔Falk, Peter. Who Was Who in American Art. Madison: Sound View Press. 1999. 1609.〕 == Early life == Hood was born in Bryan, Texas and raised in Houston. She was an only child.〔Heller, Jules and Nancy Heller. North American Woman Artists of the Twentieth Century: A Biographical Dictionary. New York: Garland, 1995. 259.〕 Hood was of German and Swedish descent, and experienced a strict, Episcopalian upbringing.〔Moore, Sylvia. “Dorothy Hood.” Woman’s Art Journal. Autumn 1980-Winter 1981. 51-54.〕 Her father was a banker who often traveled out of town on business.〔 Hood's mother encouraged Dorothy to pursue her artistic talents, but Dorothy was raised mainly by household servants due to her mother's mental illness that resulted in long sanitarium stays. Hood would visit her mother at the sanitarium on school breaks.〔 Hood's mother held Victorian ideals of womanhood, yet had an unconventional side which lead Hood to wonder about which side was her true mother.〔 As a child, she experienced a lingering feeling of isolation.〔 During the time in which she grew up, children were expected to remain out of the way of adults; without siblings, Hood was often left on her own.〔 She often spent her vacations at vacation spas, an activity usually reserved for adults.〔 Her parents' subsequent divorce led Hood to take "refuge in drawing." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dorothy Hood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
