BLANCHE LAZZELL Abstract Art Exhibition, Herring Gallery.
Woodcut on cream laid Japan paper, circa 1925-30. 210x125 mm; 8 1/4x5 inches, wide margins. A superb impression of this extremely scarce woodcut.
Lazzell (1878-1956) and Jesse Freemont Herring met during a sketching tour in Italy in February 1913. They reunited in Provincetown in 1915, Herring had returned to her artistic endeavors and where Lazzell moved (from Morgantown, WV) to pursue a career in the fine arts. In the mid-1920s, Herring became the curator of the Berkeley League of Fine Arts, where in 1925 Lazzell was honored with a one-woman exhibition of her woodcuts.
