Bar Harbor
White line color woodcut, circa 1949, from a very small edition. 8 x 11 in. Signed in ink, lower right corner. This is a fine, luminous impression of this exemplary work. There's a small margin across the top showing the tack holes where the sheet was attached to the block for registration. The condition is excellent. Rothschild was an abstract painter whose work mediated the ground between abstraction and representation, fusing the two. Rothschild was born in New York City in 1921. She graduated from Wellesley College in 1943 and studied art at Cranbrook Academy and at the Art Students League with Reginald Marsh, and then with Hans Hofmann in his studio. Rothschild also worked at Hayter’s Atelier 17 in 1943. In 1945, she became a member of the Jane Street Gallery, which was New York’s first artist cooperative. In 1946, Rothschild was elected to membership of the American Abstract Artists Association and later served as president. Rothschild was an early member of the cooperative Long Point Gallery in Provincetown with Robert Motherwell. Sold with the frame.
