Early Life
Jessica Stewart Dismorr was born at Gravesend, England, and moved with her family to Hampstead in the 1890s. Her father, John Stewart Dismorr, was a rich businessman, as a consequence of which she was free of financial worries. She attended the Slade School of Art, 1902–03, before training under Max Bohm at Etaples, and at the Académie de la Palette in Paris, 1910–13, where she studied with Jean Metzinger and was in the circle around the Scottish Colourist, John Duncan Fergusson. In 1911, she contributed several illustrations to Rhythm magazine.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
