Biography
Emily Beatrice Bland had several exhibitions at the Leicester Galleries during the 1920s. In 1928 her Paintings of Flowers and Landscapes were exhibited there alongside work by Paul Nash. The Times critic reviewed the exhibitions, describing Bland as 'a decorative impressionist, interested primarily in light, air, and color, but with an eye to pattern'. The critic cautioned that Bland sometimes 'lapsed too easily into decoration' but concluded that, at her best 'Miss Bland is a captivating artist, lyrical in feeling and lively in execution'.
Bland trained at the Slade in the early 1890s and exhibited at the New English Art Club, eventually becoming a member. She lived in Chelsea, part of a circle of Slade-trained women artists that included Ethel Walker and Louise Pickard, who were labeled by Philip Wilson Steer the 'Cheyne Walkers'. Bland also showed her work at the Royal Academy (between 1906 and 1950), at the Redfern and Goupil Galleries and the Fine Art Society.
