JULIETTE NICHOLS
Pioneers of the PROVINCETOWN PRINT
By | Bill Evaul
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.
