Travelling artist, Frances Hodgkins travels through Europe and participates in various training courses throughout the old continent. In 1903, she became the first New Zealand artist to be exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. In 1907, she had her first solo exhibition in London. In 1910, she moved to Paris and taught at the Colarossi Academy. From the 1920s onwards her style became more modernist, she introduced abstract and simplified forms into her work.
