She studied at West Virginia Conference Seminary (now West Virginia Wesleyan College), South Carolina Co-educational Institute, West Virginia University, and the Art Students League of New York. Lazzell went to Paris during the Belle Epoque when abstraction and cubism in art first flourished. At the end of that era she returned to America living in Provincetown, MA which was a haven after the outbreak of World War I for artists fleeing from Europe. Lazzell, who had become a practitioner of a cubistic type of art, aided her colleagues in the creation of a new art form, the \"Provincetown print,\" which was a revolution in woodcut printmaking allowing the medium to be used in a more abstract manner. Subsequently, during the inter-war years she became known as one of America's foremost abstract artists. Blanche Lazzell is most fondly remembered, though, for her work as a WPA artist during the New Deal in which she came back to Morgantown to paint memorable scenes of the vicinity, particularly of West Virginia University.","Photographs, postcards, engravings, sketches, correspondence, pamphlets, art tools, recipes and newspaper clippings belonging to Blanche Lazzell, a West Virginia born leading American artist of the inter-war years.

Of interest are her views on the changing character of Provincetown from an art haven to a resort town, her interest and belief in theosophy, and her own feelings about what she has achieved. Lazzell mentions her art career and in particular studying under and working with the abstractionists Fernand Leger and Hans Hofmann. Included are sketches, textiles, and jewelry made by Blanche Lazzell. (1913-1956; 6 in.)","An addendum of 1990/11/15  includes letters, genealogy, miscellaneous literature, and mementos of Blanche Lazzell.

She studied at West Virginia Conference Seminary (now West Virginia Wesleyan College), South Carolina Co-educational Institute, West Virginia University, and the Art Students League of New York. Lazzell went to Paris during the Belle Epoque when abstraction and cubism in art first flourished. At the end of that era she returned to America living in Provincetown, MA which was a haven after the outbreak of World War I for artists fleeing from Europe. Lazzell, who had become a practitioner of a cubistic type of art, aided her colleagues in the creation of a new art form, the \"Provincetown print,\" which was a revolution in woodcut printmaking allowing the medium to be used in a more abstract manner. Subsequently, during the inter-war years she became known as one of America's foremost abstract artists. Blanche Lazzell is most fondly remembered, though, for her work as a WPA artist during the New Deal in which she came back to Morgantown to paint memorable scenes of the vicinity, particularly of West Virginia University.","Photographs, postcards, engravings, sketches, correspondence, pamphlets, art tools, recipes and newspaper clippings belonging to Blanche Lazzell, a West Virginia born leading American artist of the inter-war years.

Of interest are her views on the changing character of Provincetown from an art haven to a resort town, her interest and belief in theosophy, and her own feelings about what she has achieved. Lazzell mentions her art career and in particular studying under and working with the abstractionists Fernand Leger and Hans Hofmann. Included are sketches, textiles, and jewelry made by Blanche Lazzell. (1913-1956; 6 in.)","An addendum of 1990/11/15  includes letters, genealogy, miscellaneous literature, and mementos of Blanche Lazzell.

There are eight pieces of verse in manuscript, some of which could be song lyrics, including \"Music,\" \"Silver Daggers,\" \"Childhood, Girlhood, Womanhood,\" and others. Musical material includes four pieces of hand written music, six pages of published piano pieces with embroidery patterns on opposite pages, and a 16-page booklet of hymns (ca. 1889). DAR papers include three membership applications, one for Eva Hall VanVoorhis, and two for \"Nettie\" Blanche Lazzell.

Davis (Democratic Presidential candidate of 1924) and author Julia Davis. Davis began studying art at Princeton University, where he would later return to teach. He continued his education first at the National Academy of Design in New York City and later in Paris, France. Davis had a prolific and varied artistic career as a painter, photographer, and film-maker. He was particularly fascinated with motion, which led him to evolve a style featuring motion pictures of abstract patterns of colored light. Davis also made documentary films, including ones about his friends and fellow artists, the architect Frank Lloyd Wright and the painter John Marin. (Notes for the documentaries are in this collection, but not the films themselves.)","\n See control folder for further information regarding Davis, including a copy of the West Virginia and Regional History Collection newsletter containing an article regarding Davis and this collection.","Artwork, photography, and papers of James Edward Davis, an artist born in Clarksburg, West Virginia.

He continued his education first at the National Academy of Design in New York City and later in Paris, France.

At the height of his career in the 1920s and 1930s he did many magazine covers for the Saturday Evening Post and Liberty Magazine as well as advertisements for Fisk Tire and Cream of Wheat among others. Thrasher is often compared as an artist to his rival and friend Norman Rockwell and more than likely would have been as famous as Rockwell if he had not died in 1936 as a result of an accidental fire at his home on Long Island, NY.

After Archie was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1904, the couple moved with their 10-month-old son Wilbur (1903-1966) to Prescott, Arizona Territory. Their weekly letters chronicle their railroad trip across the country and their lives in Arizona. During their time in the territory, they lived in the gold mining town of Crown King and Phoenix. The family eventually moved back to Ohio County due to homesickness. Archie died nine months after their return home. Letters in the compilation are typed transcripts.
