  • A Stellar Century of Cultivating Culture
    COVERFEATURE THE PAAMPROVINCETOWN ART ASSOCIATION AND MUSEUM 2014 A Stellar Century of Cultivating Culture By Christopher Busa Certainly it is impossible to capture in a few pages a century of creative activity, with all the long hours in the studio, caught between doubt and decision, that hundreds of artists of the area have devoted to making art, but we can isolate some crucial directions, key figures, and salient issues that motivate artists to make art. We can also show why Provincetown has been sought out by so many of the nation’s notable artists, performers, and writers as a gathering place for creative activity. At the center of this activity, the Provincetown Art Associ- ation, before it became an accredited museum, orga- nized the solitary efforts of artists in their studios to share their work with an appreciative pub- lic, offering the dynamic back-and-forth that pushes achievement into social validation. Without this audience, artists suffer from lack of recognition. Perhaps personal stories are the best way to describe PAAM’s immense contribution, since people have always been the true life source of this iconic institution. 40 PROVINCETOWNARTS 2014 ABOVE: (LEFT) PAAM IN 2014 PHOTO BY JAMES ZIMMERMAN, (righT) PAA IN 1950 PHOTO BY GEORGE YATER OPPOSITE PAGE: (LEFT) LUCY L’ENGLE (1889–1978) AND AGNES WEINRICH (1873–1946), 1933 MODERN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE COVER (PAA), 8.5 BY 5.5 INCHES PAAM ARCHIVES (righT) CHARLES W.

    West Virginia & Regional History Center University Libraries Newsletters Spring 1989 WVRHC Newsletter, Spring 1989 West Virginia & Regional History Center Follow this and additional works at: https://researchrepository.wvu.edu/wvrhc-newsletters Part of the History Commons West Virginia and Regional History Collection NEWSLETTER Volume 5, No.1 West Virginia University Library Spring/1989 Blanche Lazzell Papers Document Artist's Career Blanche Lazzell must have seemed an unlikely revolu- tionary to her professors at WVU around the turn of the century. The daughter of a local farmer of modest means, she was a petite and quiet young woman, and quite conservative in her tastes. Yet, within a few years of her graduation in 1905 she was mingling with the avant garde leaders of modern art. A recent donation of Lazzell papers to the Regional History Collection sheds considerable light upon the artist's early life. Included is a series of sketches stemming from Lazzell's studies at WVU nearly a century ago. Born in Maidsville, Monongalia County, on 10 October 1878, Neta Blanche Lazzelle (she later dropped her first name as well as the final "e" in her last name) was the ninth of ten children. Family tradition holds that it was almost by chance that she embarked upon a road that would eventually lead her into the highest circles of inter- national art. Her parents, Cornelius and Mary Lazzelle, were determined to see that at least one of their ten children received a college education. Blanche happened to be the one. Her education began at West Virginia Wesleyan College (then West VIrginia Conference Seminary) from which she received a diploma in 1898.

    Squire, Maud Hunt (1873-1955) and Ethel Mars (1876-1956) by Ruth M. Pettis Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2005, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com American artists and life partners Maud Hunt Squire and Ethel Mars forged distinguished careers in book illustration, painting, and woodblock printing. Émigrées to France, they frequented Gertrude Stein's salons and, during World War I, were among the Provincetown artists working in new methods of printmaking. Maud Squire was born January 30, 1873 in Cincinnati. Her parents encouraged her artistic training, though both had died by the time she was a young woman. At the age of 21, she enrolled in the Cincinnati Art Academy and studied under Lewis Henry Meakin and Frank Duveneck. At the academy she met fellow student Ethel Mars, with whom she would live and travel for the rest of her life. Mars, born in Springfield, Illinois on September 19, 1876, was the only child of a railroad employee and a homemaker. From 1892 to 1897, she studied illustration and drawing at the Cincinnati Art Academy. Squire began her career while still a student, traveling to New York to meet with publishers and exhibiting her work. By 1900 she and Mars were living in New York City, traveling to Europe, and collaborating on illustrating children's books, such as Charles Kingsley's The Heroes (1901). By 1906 they had settled in Paris together. Paris at the turn of the twentieth century had become a magnet for American women with artistic aspirations. As described by artist Anne Goldthwaite, Squire and Mars were prim "Middle Western" girls when they arrived in Paris.
