Description
Duc de Rochefoucauld, 1946, 4" x 3" wood engraving. Unsigned. Front piece for A Little Book of Aphorisms by F. Wilcox. Percy Albee, Valauri, Southeast, France. Lithograph . 12" x 9". Signed lower left. Artist Proof. These two prints are from Grace & Percy Albee (1888-1959), who met when both were at RISD, eloping and enjoying a fruitful 46 year marriage. Professionally they spent their lifetime making art. Grace Albee has been recognized as one of America’s premier woodcut printmakers. An indication of Grace Albee’s success was her admission to the highly selective National Academy of Design. Grace Albee was the first female graphic artist ever to attain full Academician membership (1946). Over a sixty span, Grace produced more than 250 prints from linocuts, woodcuts and wood engravings. She hand-printed all her work until an advanced age. Albee's works are represented in many public collections, including the Providence Art Club, Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Newport Art Museum, Boston Public Library, Georgetown University Library, Cleveland Museum of Art & Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The Library of Congress, the National Gallery of Art, and in the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
