Description: This catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition "Studio Window: The Prints of Grace Martin Taylor," curated by Robert Bridges, at the Art Museum of West Virginia University, Morgantown, West Virginia, September 16 to December 15, 2016. The exhibition marked the first time that a complete set of Grace Martin Taylor's white-line prints have been exhibited. Taylor was born near Morgantown and graduated from WVU before embarking on a career in art. She studied with her cousin, internationally known American modernist Blanche Lazzell, and went on to study at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts with Arthur Carles in the 1920s, and later with prestigious artists such as Hans Hofmann and Emil Bisttram. One of America's innovative printmakers of the 20th century, Taylor dedicated her life to teaching art in West Virginia for 40 years at what is now the University of Charleston, where she promoted modern art and abstraction.
