Who was Gladys Rockmore Davis?

Gladys Rockmore Davis was an American artist who succeeded in both commercial and fine arts, and gave up a career in advertising art to devote herself to creative painting. Her work in pastels ranks with her oils, and her chief subjects are children, nudes and still lifes. She also painted ballet dancers, vignettes of liberated Paris, and scenes of Spain. An art critic once called Gladys Rockmore Davis "the ten-year wonder of United States art". Her husband Floyd Davis and her son Noel Rockmore were well-known artists as well.
