Edna Boies Hopkins: Strong In Character, Colorful In Expression

Edna Boies Hopkins (1872-1937) is best known for her floral woodblock prints that range from delicate Japanese-inspired stylizations to boldly colored and progressively modernist works. In her brief twenty-year career, Hopkins produced seventy-four known woodblock prints, including figurative work and landscapes as well as floral compositions. This catalogue raisonne is the first in-depth study of this once well-known American artist. It illustrates all of Hopkins's known prints, related drawings, and studies. In addition, "Edna Boies Hopkins" includes much new biographical research along with a census of her prints and a comprehensive list of her exhibitions.
