Additional Details

By the 1920s, Lazzell had established herself as a leading name in the American printmaking landscape, just a few years after spending her first summer in Provincetown in 1915. As an ambassador of her cohort, she defined the characteristics of the Provincetown woodcut as "Originality, Simplicity, Freedom of Expression, and above all Sincerity, with a clean cut block." In Petunia Planes, one of her late career prints, we see the mastery of and confidence in these tenets.
