Helen West Heller. American. Art
American, 1872-1955
Helen West Heller was born near Rushville, Illinois. From 1876 she lived in Canton, Ilinois. At a very young age, she became interested in painting. Although she received some art education at the School of Fine Arts in St. Louis and the Art Students League in New York, she was largely self-taught. As an adult she moved back and forth between Chicago and New York several times, before settling in New York for the last twenty-five years of her life. She worked in a distinctly individual style, and was intensely productive and unwaveringly committed to her artistic passions. In 1923, during a period of great poverty, she turned to the affordable materials of wood block and linoleum, often printing her results on wrapping paper. From then until the end of her life she produced more than six hundred woodcuts, and spent a great deal of time studying art and history, and writing. She was very active in artists' social and political affairs, and in 1948 was elected an associate of the National Academy of Design. She often brings figures and settings together in a mosaic of patterns that reflect both Eastern and Western block print traditions.(Biography provided by Allinson Gallery, Inc.)

Floral Still Life
Located in Provincetown, MA
Agnes Weinrich was born in Burlington, Iowa in 1873. She studied with French Cubist Albert Gleizes in Berlin, Paris, and Rome, and with Charles Webster Hawthorne and Blanche Lazzell in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
In the 1920s, she organized and directed the first association for female painters in the United States, the New York Society of Women Painters. She was a founder of the Modernist Movement at the Provincetown Art Association. She exhibited in museums in Washington, DC, Boston, New York City, and elsewhere. Her work is highly sought after because she was one of the earliest American Modernist artists. She lived in Provincetown until her death in 1946.

Meji Period. Circa 1895.
The enthusiasm for nature prints has spanned the centuries. By the mid-nineteenth century these works, illustrating varieties of flowers in naturalistic styles, had reached a peak of perfection. Each artistic form in traditional printing sought to enhance the beauty of botany. In the woodblock style, as it true for engravings and lithographs, it is imperative that the carving of each block be exacting as they must create an image true to that seen in nature.
For many, the dish garden is a re-creation of a favorite landscape design. It provides an opportunity to build a perfect pairing of ornament...
