Marion Huse was a Post-Impressionist artist living and practicing in the Northeastern United States and Europe. She attended the New School of Design, Boston and the Carnegie Institute of Art, Pittsburgh. In the summers she painted in Europe and learned from noted artist Charles Hawthorne, in Provincetown, Massachusetts. When Huse's husband was stationed in France during World War II, she accompanied him and put on the first ever solo exhibition of serigraphs in Paris in 1947. Huse's work can be found in such noted collections as the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Library of Congress, D.C; and others.
