About the Item

Open Edition Signed in black ink on print margin. Titled, dated and print date in black ink on artist label. Paper size: : 11 x 14 in., Image size: 8 1/2 x 11 3/4 in. “Frida told me that she had not helped me look for things here in Mexico for the simple reason that she wanted me to find it myself and that showing people around doesn’t help them in the least and that now she could say that I had understood Mexico, for all my impressions are my own, and the finest things have struck me.” - From the Lucienne Bloch Diaries Lucienne Bloch was a prolific artist. Born in Switzerland, she soon moved with her family to American in mist of the growing tensions of war and anti-Semitism. At the young age of 15 years old, she attended The Cleveland Institute of Art and later in life enrolled in the Ecole National et Superier des Beaux Arts in Paris. Exceeding in her artistic endeavors, she worked for a number of established artist such as sculptor, Anotine Boudelle, and architecture Frank Lloyd Wright. However, it was her encounter with Mexican Muralist, Diego Rivera, and painter Frida Kahlo that solidified Bloch artistic style. Bloch became a closed friend of the couple, as well as, the chief photographer of the Rockefeller Center mural Diego Rivera was working on in New York before it was destroyed. In addition to her photographs, Bloch was a Fresco muralist for the Federal Arts Project of the Works Progress Administration from 1934-1939. She continued to teach and work until her dead in 1999.
