White line woodcut printed in colors, 1958, small edition. 11 1/4 x 12 1/4 in. Signed, titled and dated in pencil. This is a fine impression of this rare and exceptional American modernist woodcut. The margins are full showing tack holes on the right edge of the sheet. This was done to keep the sheet in proper registration throughout the printing process. The condition is fine apart from old paper tape along the top edge and a faint suggestion of a mat line in the outer margins. Myrer studied with Karl Knaths in Washington, DC from 1940-44. There she met Ferol Warthen and Angèle spent her summers in Provincetown. After her husband died in 1949, she moved to Provincetown and the two artists studied with Blanche Lazzell. They had adjoining studios at 77 Commercial Street in Provincetown's West End. Myrer was a regular exhibitor at the Provincetown Art Association from 1938 to 1958.
