BLANCHE LAZZELL
(American, 1878-1956)
Pink Petunias
monotype
titled in ink, l.l.; signed and dated Blanche Lazzell 194[1?] in ink, l.r.
sight: 8 1/2 x 6 1/2 in., frame: 18 1/4 x 15 3/4 in.
Provenance: The Collection of a Boston Gentleman.
Other Notes: The early American modernist Blanche Lazzell began spending her summers in Provincetown, Massachusetts in 1915, and she eventually settled in the town permanently. She was a member of the Provincetown Printers artists' collective, and, after learning the technique from Oliver Chaffee, was regarded as the master of the white line woodblock print. She also is noted for her experimentation with monotypes, in which she painted on a non-absorbent surface such as glass, then pressed the work onto paper.
