Doris Hatt was born in Bath in 1890 and studied Art locally before progressing to the Royal College and the Vienna Conservatoire of Art.

During the mid 1920s she worked in Paris where she befriended many artists of the day, including Picasso, Braque, Gris and others, this having a profound effect on the direction of her art, moving her away from her more naturalistic post-impressionistic work to a more radical modernism and an investigation of cubism among other styles. Although she undertook a return to a more personalised naturalism in later life, the works of her late period still possess a strong modernist sense of colour and boldness of composition.

She has had numerous exhibitions including the Redfern and Leicester Galleries, as well as in continental Europe. Her work is represented in several major public collections.

Doris Hatt died in 1969.
