Blanche Lazzell: The Life and Work of an American Modernist

Blanche Lazzell: The Life and Work of an American Modernist traces the remarkable path of a Maidsville, West Virginia native who became a fixture of the Paris and Provincetown art scenes in the 1920s and '30s. Lazzell helped pioneer American abstraction and is best remembered today for her color woodblock prints, though her body of work also spans painting and hooked rugs.

Edited by Robert Bridges, Kristina Olson, and Janet Snyder, this hardcover volume gathers nine essays alongside hundreds of full-color illustrations, giving readers a thorough look at an artist whose influence has only recently been fully recognized.
