펀 이사벨 코페지(Fern Isabel Coppedge), 미국, 인상주의, 화가, 1883-1951
겨울 풍경으로 유명한 미국의 인상주의 화가, '펀 이사벨 코페지'는 일리노이의 시골마을에서 태어났습니다. 그녀가 본격적으로 그림을 공부한 건 결혼 이후였죠. 고등학교 생물선생이던 남편은 그녀의 잠재력을 알아보고 적극 지지하고 후원했답니다.
명문대학에서 교육도 받고, 여러 그룹활동을 통해 인정을 받고 찬사도 받았죠. 하지만 정작 중요한 전시회에선 늘 초대받지 못했고 평론가들도 외면했습니다. 여성이어서 차별받고, 불공평한 대우를 받았죠. 그녀는 한마디 불평도 없이, 오히려 더 열정적으로 그림을 그렸습니다.
강변에 'Boxwood'라는 스튜디오를 짓고, 눈보라가 그친 후엔 이젤을 들고 밖으로 나가 손가락이 꽁꽁 얼어붙을 때까지 두텁게 붓질을 했습니다. 구불구불한 언덕 사이의 계곡과 작은 마을, 그리고 차가운 겨울 공기와 반짝이는 햇빛은 그녀의 시그니처 풍경입니다.
