Frances Gearhart (January 4, 1869 – April 4, 1959) was an American printmaker and watercolorist known for her boldly drawn and colored woodcut and linocut prints of American landscapes. Focused especially on California's coasts and mountains, this body of work has been called "a vibrant celebration of the western landscape." She is one of the most important American color block print artists of the early 20th century. Frances Hammell Gearhart was born January 4, 1869, in Sagetown, Illinois. She moved to California in 1888 and began studying at the State Normal School at Los Angeles (now UCLA) the following year. She graduated in 1891 and thereafter supported herself for several years teaching English at the high school level. At some point, she received further training in art from Charles Herbert Woodbury and Henry Rankin Poore. She may also have taken a class from Frank Morley Fletcher, who was instrumental in bringing Japanese woodblock techniques to Europe and America. More information...
