She is mentioned in one book having a house on the ocean somewhere in New England (Nantucket?) and being a Communist artist of the Left in the 1930's in another Google Book. I'm hoping to find a reference to some museum collection with this picture, but not yet.Suzanne Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387297696390711279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-86150605353364121542016-11-05T18:37:48.983-05:002016-11-05T18:37:48.983-05:00I wish I could remember where I found that print. ...I wish I could remember where I found that print.
