Description

"Blanche Lazzell (1878-1956) was a pioneering American modernist. Blanche Lazzell: The Life and Work of an American Modernist makes use of extensive primary source material to make an informed reading of Lazzell's career, tracing her life and work from Morgantown, West Virginia, to New York, to Paris, and to the artist community in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Lazzell's contribution to American art history was never fully appreciated during her life, but recently there has been renewed interest in her work, due mostly to the critical appreciation of her white-line woodblock prints. This collection of essays with 200 full-color illustrations and more than 50 plates amply presents the full scope of Blanche Lazzell's career and her role as a translator of the achievements of European modernism for her colleagues in America."--BOOK JACKET.
