    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.

It is not meant to be a scholarly treatise but more an introduction for beginners and the curious. It is our hope that as you read and begin to get a sense of the sweeping scope and dramatic impact the movement’s philosophy had on design and the craftsmanship evident in the works produced, that you will also gain an awareness and appreciation of the Two Red Roses Foundation’s decorative arts collection. The TRRF collection—believed to be among the most complete and important in the world—will be displayed in the Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement [MAACM] to be preserved, interpreted, and enjoyed by museum visitors in the future.

  • Edna Boies Hopkins
    Edna Boies Hopkins ■ Color Woodblock Prints ■ The technic [sic] of color printing from wood imposes certain conditions—flatness of the masses used and simplicity in their shapes. These conditions are in no sense restrictions. They are rather privileges. Every artist who works in two dimensions strives to attain in his work a beautiful pattern, a mosaic, of simple flat shapes. Color printers, then, have certain difficulties obviated for them but it entails a heavy responsibility. This very flatness and simplicity makes it imperative that shapes and color shall be perfect in their relations. There is no imitation of form to convince the spectator and no illusion with which to deceive him. There is only the most abstract kind of representation. Since there is no subterfuge in the color print vocabulary they must say per- fectly what they have to say. They do this solely with the real tools of the artist, lines, masses and colors, and if you like them, “you don’t know why,” then you are suscep- tible to the highest appeal of art. —Edna Boies Hopkins, Causerie Artistique1 ■ EARLY YEARS dna Bel Beachboard was born in the south Michigan town of Hudson on October 13, E 1872.2 As the daughter of David J. Beachboard, a prominent Hudson citizen and vice president of the Boies State Savings Bank, and his wife, Clotilda C. Sawyer, Edna probably en- joyed a privileged childhood. While no documentation exists of her youth, it is known that in 1887 her older brother, Earl James Beachboard, died of diphtheria at the age of sixteen, making Edna an only child.
