Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Blanche Lazzell" in English language version.
She was a great proponent of the white-line woodblock print, developed around 1915. Rather than using several separately cut blocks to create a single print, white-line printers applied pigment to separate areas of a single block, working more like painters. It was the perfect technique to fit Lazzell's taste for flat, abstracted imagery and complex compositions.
She is probably best known as a printmaker whose color woodcuts are distinguished by the fine white incised lines that define their Cubist-influenced imagery.
