Blanche Lazzell
One of the earliest and most important female abstract artists in America, Blanche Lazzell is widely regarded for her paintings and innovative color woodblock prints. Works such as Abstract Composition No.6 (1928) and Peace, Joy, Love (1930) clearly demonstrate the influence of Geometric Cubism, a technique to which Lazzell was exposed while studying in Paris with André Lhote, Albert Gleize, and Fernand Léger in the 1920s. Her later works such as Untitled (1952) or Abstract in Blues, Yellow, Red move even further into abstraction. Lazzell is perhaps best remembered today for the more than 138 woodcuts she made using the distinctive “white line” technique developed by Bror Julius Olsson Nordfeldt and the Provincetown Printers. Combining representational and abstract elements in a style uniquely her own, prints such as Provincetown Back Yards. (1927), Marygolds. (1930), and Little Church (1952) are considered definitive examples of the technique.

Although renowned for his innovative and groundbreaking sculptures, Alexander Calder started his artistic career as an abstract painter, preferring to use gouache. What is gouache? Gouache is a water-soluble paint – a type of opaque watercolor. As Calder returned to gouache painting towards the end of his life, he was now armed with a lifetime of experience as a sculptor. He explored the three-dimensional vocabulary of sculptural forms he had developed onto the two-dimensional surface of the paper. Certain shapes and colors recur throughout his gouaches and sculptures. Circles, ovals, and other geometric forms dominate the space. There is the same sense of energy and fluidity. The shapes do not sit on the surface but vibrate giving a feeling of movement in contrast to the static nature of painting. Like his sculpture, Calder’s gouache...Category
