Nichols was one of the original group of Provincetown woodcut artists. She arrived from Paris in 1915 and her work was in the First Annual Exhibition of the Provincetown Art Association.

Woman and Child by the Water -  NICHOLS

Woman and Child by the Water
White line color woodcut, undated (circa 1915-20), edition unknown. 11 x 12 1/2 in. Signed in pencil. This is a fine, luminous impression with the full margins. The condition is fine apart from a couple of professionally flattened creases in the margins only. The paper is a cream, light tan color. This is a great example of her work and and exceedingly rare. Studying in Paris, she learned Japanese woodcut techniques from Edna Boies Hopkins and exhibited her work at the American Women’s Art Association alongside a few other artists who would eventually form the group known as the Provincetown printers. She also studied with Blanche Lazzell when she arrived in Provincetown in 1915. Nichols exhibited her white line woodblock prints in the very first show of the Provincetown Printers at the Berlin Photographic Company in New York City in 1916. They held their first Provincetown show at Ambrose Webster’s Studios. Her work was also exhibited in numerous prominent arts clubs and associations throughout the northeast including the Provincetown Art Association. In the mid 1920’s Nichols traveled again to Paris. She also lived in Marietta, Ohio and New York in the 1920s. This is the only impression we are aware of of this print.
