Item Details
Description
Gouache on inside French sketchbook cover, untitled Cubist composition, pencil signed* and dated 1924 (Blanche Lazzell, 1878-1956). 7 7/8 x 9 3/4 inches. Very good condition. Unframed for inspection and post-auction shipping.

Provenance: Ex-collection Ethel Mars; subsequently gifted by Mars in the late 1950's to her friend, Colette Mercier, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France. Acquired in Paris by the consignor's family from Colette Mercier, prior to her death, circa 1975. Mercier was a close friend of the consignor's father's cousin, whose family collected art and lived in Switzerland. Thence by descent to the consignor.

Ethel Mars was a long-time acquaintance and colleague of Blanche Lazzell's, both being well-known American woodblock print artists in Provincetown, MA. Mars, who was also an illustrator, moved to France in the early 1920's and spent much of her life there. Lazzell traveled to Europe twice, once in 1923 to study in Paris with Fernand Leger and Albert Gliezes.
