LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER
Each person who has come to live in Provincetown has a memory of that time being special. Maybe it was the discovery of an unknown terrain, new friendships or fun rituals unique to the period (like the nightly free movies and popcorn at the old Holiday Inn). People will say “Oh the 70s were the best.” or “There will never be anything as wondrous as the 50s in Provincetown.”
My time was the early 90s. I spent my first summer here with the express purpose of taking art classes. The Chamber of Commerce and the Art Association mailed requested brochures to my East Village apartment and I enthusiastically planned my summer like a trip abroad.
I took an etching class with the talented Bill Behnken. Unknown to me at the time was the fact that my fellow students were equally well-known artists: Sal Del Deo, Joan Pereira, Connie Black and Helen Daphnis. They didn’t really need the class. They were probably only there to use the press. I took a white-line printmaking class with Kathryn Lee Smith, granddaughter of Ferol Sibley Warthen, an internationally famous Provincetown white-line printmaker. It was my own golden era of art education.
This year, Art Guide invited well-known Provincetown white-line artist and historian Bill Evaul to write about another special time in Provincetown—the winter of 1915/16, when a group of artists fled Paris in the midst of WWI and created a new and unique art form, the Provincetown Print. Today the output from this relatively small group of artists, a result of close companionship and creative collaboration, is now exhibited in major museums around the world. We celebrate these printers, and their own golden age in Provincetown, in the pages of this year’s Art Guide.

Pioneers of the PROVINCETOWN PRINT
By | Bill EvaulThe Provincetown PRINT
The Provincetown Print, as it was first known, or white-line color woodcut, as it is called today, created an art world sensation for a brief period around its invention in 1915. The original group of six artists had been acquaintances in Paris and shared a love of wood block printmaking using both Oriental and European techniques. With the outbreak of World War I, they decided to return to American and the art colony of Provincetown and committed themselves to working together around their mutual love of woodcut printmaking. Juliette Nichols, Ethel Mars, Maude Squire, Ada Gilmore, Mildred McMillen and B.J.O. Nordfeldt were experimental by nature and encouraged each other’s progress. One day, Nordfeldt showed up with his entire design for a color woodcut on a single block. He had hinged the paper directly to the block with pins – a simple but effective registration method – and he painted and printed as many colors as he chose. This small act of invention revolutionized the world of woodblocks.
The others quickly adopted the technique and the group attracted many more artists, including, most notably, Blanche Lazzell. Todd Lindenmuth, Oliver Chaffee, Agnes Weinrich, Karl Knaths, Edith Lake Wilkinson, William Zorach and a few others who also recognized the possibilities. Together, with the original six, they formed a kind of artists’ co-operative called the Provincetown Printers and exhibited widely, both in their own Provincetown gallery and in traveling exhibitions and invitational museum shows nationwide. The group flourished for about ten years before fading from the scene. With a few notable exceptions, most of the artists turned their attention elsewhere. After all, oil painting was the predominant medium of the day for serious art and the tedious nature of painting and rubbing only resulted in a print – a work on paper – which the market valued much less in comparison to an oil painting on canvas.
B.J.O. Nordfeldt, Neighbors (Provincetown), white-line woodcut print, 1916. Courtesy Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Then, after more than fifty years of obscurity, another sensation was created through the re-discovery of the Provincetown Print. Mervin Jules and Nat Halper, a Provincetown artist and a Provincetown gallerist, discovered a cache of these prints and wisely invited the pre-eminent woodcut scholar, Janet Flint, of the Smithsonian National Museum of American Art to curate an exhibition. In 1983, the show opened in Provincetown and then traveled to Washington, D.C. and sparked a renewed interest. A brisk collectors’ market developed almost at the outset and auction and sales records for prime examples were broken
annually until leveling off with prices in the high five figures with some Lazzells fetching in the low six figures. The demand spurred many dealers to scour the world for their eager clients. This resulted in some good scholarship and the re-discovery of many previously unknown artists who had produced beautiful work with the new medium.
What is it about the Provincetown Print that attracts attention like this? And, how did Nordfeldt come up with something really new in a medium which has been around for over five thousand years? The cooperative
spirit of the original group played a crucial part and allowed Nordfeldt to take his creative leap. With the dominance of the carved grooves providing the characteristic white-line, and the unlimited palette of color with its luminosity and textural effects, the result is a wholly unique look. Not a painting nor a traditional editioned print, it immediately became known as a “Provincetown Print” in honor of its place of origin.

Pioneers of the PROVINCETOWN PRINT
By | Bill EvaulThe White Line PROCESS
Impressions from carved woodblocks have been made by humans for over five thousand years, first into wet clay, then with inks on wood, fabric or skins. It took about three thousand years of this activity before the invention of paper around 101 AD. But it wasn’t until the late 14th century that images from printing became appreciated for their artistic value alone. Once artists were freed to use the medium to express their own voice, instead of printing to serve religious or business purposes, the discoveries and technical developments flowed.
From that perspective it’s been a mad rush ever since. With advancements in chemistry and mechanics and the development of better materials and techniques, it might seem a bit retrograde to look for discoveries in woodcut, the most primitive and low tech of all. Nevertheless, in 1915, a Swedish American artist, Bror Julius Olsen Nordfeldt, made a unique contribution by devising a method of producing full color-palette prints from a single carved block. They first became know as the “Provincetown Print.” More generically they are referred to as white-line prints or white-line woodcuts.
The making of a Provincetown Print is deceptively simple. In actuality, it can be quite tedious and take longer to make a print than it would to make a painting. Typically, one starts with a line drawing of the desired image and transfers that to a block of wood using tracing paper and carbon paper. Then the lines are carved, making “V” grooves with a sharp knife blade or a gouge.
Once the block is carved, a sheet of absorbent paper, usually Japanese "rice" paper, is pinned directly to the block, creating a hinge whereby the paper can be lifted and laid in the exact same place for perfect registration.
Watercolor paint is then applied with a brush, one section at a time. While the paint is still wet, the paper is laid and rubbed from the back with a “baren” (Japanese rubbing tool), a silver or wooden spoon

like the early printers or any appropriate tool. Even just hand pressure can be applied. The process is repeated many times until the image is complete.
Utilizing only white-line carving, a unique, full color impression is created. Subsequent prints could repeat the same color scheme with the variations reflecting the hand application, but also completely different color palettes could be employed to create other unique prints.
This is the general methodology of the early printers, but there are numerous variations and techniques that can be used. Whatever one chooses, the basic characteristics of a white-line color woodcut remain the same– the use of a single block of wood, carved in a linear pattern and printed by hand using unlimited color applied with a brush.

Pioneers of the PROVINCETOWN PRINT
By | Bill EvaulB.J.O. NORDFELDT
Bror Julius Olsen Nordfeldt (1878-1955), or “Nord” as he was known to his friends, was just 13 when he emigrated from Sweden to Chicago in 1891. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and became the assistant to Albert Herter who had a commission to paint murals for the Paris Exposition in 1900. That job took the 21-year-old Nordfeldt to Paris where he continued his studies at the Académie Julian, set up his own studio and took a trip to England to study Moku Hanga – Japanese woodblock printmaking. Already a skilled painter and etcher, he went on to win the Silver Medal at the 1906 International Print Exhibition.
He later worked in Paris until the outbreak of World War I, when he moved to Chicago and then to New York City followed by Provincetown in 1915, where he re-connected with his artist and theater friends. Along with five other artists, Nordfeldt dedicated himself to woodcuts. The group was lively and encouraging. Their individual experience and style drew from a variety of disciplines and they experimented by trying out new ideas and combinations of techniques. Ethel Mars had a two-block system that, no doubt, contributed to Nordfeldt devising the one- block method that we know today as the white-line color woodcut.
Nordfeldt made the most of his time in Provincetown— inventing a new woodcut process, and creating the Provincetown Printers. He helped to form the Provincetown Art Association and ran his own small school for modern painting. He also became a founding member of the Provincetown Players, acting in small parts, painting sets and serving as an inspiration for George Cram “Jig” Cook’s satirical play about the town artists entitled “Change Your Style.”
In 1918, Nordfeldt moved to Sante Fe, New Mexico where he extended his career as a master painter in the modern style and stopped making woodcuts.

By | Bill EvaulTod LINDENMUTH
Tod Lindenmuth (1885-1976) was born in Allentown, PA and died in Jacksonville in 1976 at age 91. He studied with Robert Henri at the New York School of Art in Manhattan. Around 1914 he came to Provincetown to study with E. Ambrose Webster and George Elmer Browne. He was one of the founders of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum where he exhibited regularly from 1915 onward. He also was among the first artists to join the “Six Founders” of the Provincetown Printers and contributed work to their first Provincetown exhibition, in 1916, at Ambrose Webster’s studios on Commercial Street. In 1928, Lindenmuth served on the jury for the Provincetown Art Association’s “First Modernistic Exhibition.”
Lindenmuth was a proficient oil painter but he is known predominantly as a linocut printmaker, having made only a few white-line color woodcuts. However, he too had developed some innovative techniques for relief printing including the use of multiple colors on one block.
In Provincetown he met and married artist and illustrator Elizabeth Boardman Warren. In the 1920’s the couple began visiting St. Augustine, Florida where they became founders of the St. Augustine Art Association.

By | Bill EvaulBlanche LAZZELL
Blanche Lazzell (1878-1956), was born in Maidsville, West Virginia and excelled at her studies, earning multiple degrees in literature, art and art history before moving to New York City in 1908 to study at the Art Students League with William Merrit Chase and his assistant Charles Hawthorne. She then spent a few years in Paris where she attended the Académie Moderne.
Lazzell returned to America in 1915, heading to Provincetown to study with Hawthorne. She set up her own studio right next door to Nordfeldt who, along with Oliver Chaffee, encouraged Lazzell’s modernist sensibility. When she saw the woodcut prints that Nordfeldt, Ada Gilmore, Juliette Nichols and the others were making, she got Chaffee to show her the basic technique. She joined the group and began a lifelong career of making and teaching white-line color woodcuts.
In 1923, Lazzell went to Paris again, this time to study with the great cubist painters, Albert Gleizes, Fernand Léger, and André L’Hôte. Upon meeting this outwardly conservative woman, one would not have associated her with the authoritative, non-objective painting style that she so deftly handled. She arrived at her purely synthetic cubist approach without any evidence of groping through semi-abstract or analytic styles. Lazzell’s work was shown at the Salon d’Automne in Paris for several years.
In 1925 she returned again to Provincetown where she would live for the rest of her life, taking occasional trips to New York City and back home to West Virginia. Lazzell continued painting and making prints in her cubist style and furthered her modernist sensibility studying with German Abstract Expressionist Hans Hofmann. She created a second generation of white-line woodcut artists by continuing to teach right up until her death in 1956.

By | Bill EvaulAgnes WEINRICH
Agnes Weinrich (1873-1946) came from Burlington, Iowa where she attended the Burlington Institute College and Iowa Wesleyan College. In 1899, she went to Europe to study art, first in Berlin, Germany for three years, followed by a year in Florence and Rome, Italy. She then returned to America to enroll at the Art Institute of Chicago from 1905-1906 before going back to Europe and Paris. Along with most of the American artists, she fled Europe in 1914. Agnes Weinrich would surely have joined the nucleus of six had she been in Provincetown that winter. Instead, upon her return from Europe she chose to attend the Art Institute of Chicago and did not arrive in Provincetown until the summer of 1916. Once there, she studied painting with Charles Hawthorne, learned the Provincetown Print technique and became a member of the Provincetown Printers where her abstractions, inspired by the cubists and fauves, made her a natural member. While holding the door of the Provincetown Library for her, Karl Knaths fell in love with Agnes Weinrich. She valued Knaths friendship and artistic sensibility but was not romantically attracted. So Knaths married Helen Weinrich, Agnes’s sister, and the three lived happily in Provincetown until their deaths.

By | Bill EvaulJuliette NICHOLS
Juliette S. Nichols (1870-c.1958) came from Marietta, Ohio and traveled to Paris in the early 1900’s where she met Blanche Lazzell as well as Edna Boies Hopkins (who taught her Japanese woodcut techniques), Ada Gilmore, Dolly McMillen, Ethel Mars, and Maude Squire. They all exhibited with the American Women’s Art Association, eventually returning to America to form the Provincetown Printers in late 1914 or early 1915. Nichols exhibited her woodblock prints in the very first show of the Provincetown Printers at the Berlin Photographic Company in New York City in 1916. They held their first Provincetown show at Ambrose Webster’s Studios. Her work was exhibited in numerous prominent arts clubs and associations throughout the northeast. In the mid 1920’s Nichols traveled again to Paris to work and study. She returned to America, living in New York City where she continued to exhibit in shows across the United States. She eventually returned home to Marietta, Ohio.

By | Bill EvaulEthel MARS
Ethel Mars (1876-1956), came from Springfield, Illinois and, in 1892, enrolled in the Art Academy of Cincinnati, Ohio where she met her life partner, Maude Squire. Together they moved to New York City in 1900 and established studios there, getting work illustrating children’s books. They traveled to Germany in 1903 and got a first-hand look at the Blue Rider artists, especially Kandinsky’s woodcuts. They then headed to Paris in 1906, where they renewed their friendship with Edna Hopkins who taught them the Japanese printmaking techniques. Already familiar with the German woodcut artists and experimental by nature, Mars began block printing in her own unique style. It was her two-block, multi-color prints that encouraged Nordfeldt to take the next step in the invention of the white-line color woodcut.
Mars and Squire were a celebrated couple in Paris, served as Jurors for the Paris Salon d’Autumne, became members of the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts, and were embraced by Gertrude Stein who memorialized them in her short story, “Miss Furr and Miss Skene.” When the War broke out, they returned to Provincetown in 1915 and formed the Provincetown Printers. They exhibited regularly in Provincetown and across the country until 1921, when they returned to France where they painted and illustrated books until their deaths.

By | Bill EvaulAda GILMORE
Ada Gilmore Chaffee (1883-1955) was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. After her parents died young, she spent her early years with an aunt in Ireland where she studied design at the Belfast School of Art. In 1900, she returned to Kalamazoo to teach drawing. In 1903 Gilmore enrolled in the Art Institute of Chicago where she met her long-time partner, Mildred “Dolly” McMillen. In 1912, they moved to New York where they studied painting with Robert Henri and then traveled to Paris where they met Ethel Mars and Maude Squire and began working together. The four friends left Paris and arrived in Provincetown in 1915. There they met up with Juliet Nichols and Bror J. O. Nordfeldt, and formed the nucleus of the Provincetown Printers.
Gilmore exhibited in the Provincetown Printers’ first exhibition in 1916 and the first show of the newly formed Provincetown Art Association included six of her woodblock prints. In 1925 she and Dolly McMillen took a trip to Vence, France to visit Mars and Squire. Oliver Chaffee, who had been in Paris at the time, also went to Vence to re-unite with his Provincetown friends. The result was that Oliver and Ada married there and lived together in France until they returned to Provincetown in 1928. Ada Gilmore continued to paint and make prints and, along with Blanche Lazzell, was a key promoter of the legacy of the Provincetown Printers.
