The DunesEntry/Object ID
2215.Pa14Description
Angele Myrer was an American artist who lived and worked in Massachusetts. She made many white-line woodblock prints, a technique pioneered by a group of female artists working in Provincetown in the early 20th century, known as the Provincetown Printers. Her woodblock print of the dunes is composed of transparent colorful hues, producing a watercolor-like effect.
Her other composition of the dunescape is much more geometric and chromatic, with an emphasis on darker tones and rigid lines. Although the abstracted color palette and the indiscernible structure on the right may paint a less recognizable image, the inclusion of the three seagulls recalls the nature of the seascape.Acquisition
