Edna Boies Hopkins: Strong in Character, Colorful in Expression
December 14, 2007 - March 2, 2008
Edna Boies Hopkins was trained at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, with Arthur Wesley Dow in New York City, and became a color woodblock print maker of great sophistication. Edna moved to Paris in 1905, where she lived as an expatriate until the outbreak of World War I.
Her success as a creator of floral studies and compositions grew rapidly, and her works appeared in numerous important collections. Edna's international reputation became firmly established until her career was cut short by severe arthritis while she was in her early fifties.
This exhibition of fifty color woodblock prints covers Edna Boies Hopkins entire career and features her best-known subjects: floral compositions, figural works, especially those produced in Appalachia, and landscapes made in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
This exhibition will travel to the Springfield (OH) Museum of Art March 15 - June 1, 2008 and to the Provincetown (MA) Art Association and Museum June - August, 2008.
