"This book will be essential for studies of modernism, as well as for art libraries and serious collectors of American art." Joann G. Moser, Senior Curator, Smithsonian American Art Museum and author of Singular Impressions: The Monotype in America "A fascinating, detailed story of an artist's life... perhaps the definitive account of [Blanche Lazzell's] life and the significance of her career." Anne Price, The Sunday Advocate "A tribute to a singular talent that is as distinctive and multi-faced as her work." Dale Blaine, ForeWord Magazine "With wonderful illustrations and a helpful chronology, this is an interesting, important book." R. M. Labuz, Choice Magazine "...magnificent." George Brosi, Appalachian Heritage "...[a] beautiful book." R.K. Dickson, The Bloomsbury Review "This monograph should serve as a wake-up call: there are a lot of excellent artists - particularly women artists - still being ignored, eclipsed by lesser, more colorful ones, in large part because they suffer the common fate of being discretely modest." Mary Sherman, Journal of Appalachian Studies
