<p>[QUOTE="Lithographer, post: 4538743, member: 13308"]I purchased this painting the other day at a local consignment shop. It was nice that the information was on the back, however I think some of it is not correct. I believe the person who wrote it may have partially mixed it up with another person. The statement about the etchings confused me, I only found paintings. It was nice to see that the artist was from my home town, Kalamazoo, and that she was involved in starting the art institute where I studied printmaking. She was also a Christian Scientist, the Church was across from the current Art Institute, they knocked it down a few years ago(you can look up the pics online). It looks like she may have lived in Battle Creek later and is buried in Galesburg. I was wondering if someone had access to the newspaper archive site? The Sept. 22, 1916 Marshall News Statesman has an article with the text that is posted on the ASK ART site. I noticed they have her birth date wrong, she was born in 1869. Also any comments on the clothing, the term "flapper", medium (maybe Gouache?), other things about the artist.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]401627[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]401628[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]401629[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]401630[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]401631[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
