Heilprin is an author, poet and artist from Bethesda, Maryland. Signed lower right "Marilyn Heilprin, titled lower left "Bonnieux WC 3 (watercolor #3). Marilyn Heilprin was born in New York City and has a B.A. from Smith College (1948) and M.A. in international relations from The American University (1963). A former research associate, writer and editor for federal agencies and private publishers, she attended writing workshops at Breadloaf, The American University, and Writers' Center in Bethesda, MD. She has published poems in literary journals and was a finalist in the Maryland State Poetry and Literary Society chapbook contests. She co-authored Leo Saal's memoir "Crossings: A Life in Russia and Germany in the First Half of the 20th Century." Feb. 2020, Marilyn Heilprin, 93, a retired editor, writer and researcher who created one of the earliest compendiums of international statistics and organizations. Image, 9"H x 12"W Sheet, 14.5"H x 16.5"W Frame, 15.25"H 17"W x .5"D Mrs. Heilprin, a former resident of Bethesda, Md., was born Marilyn Heyman in New York City. In the 1950s, she was a researcher and writer on handbooks about Mongolia, Finland, Germany, Austria, Lebanon, Syria and Israel for the Washington-area branch of the Human Relations Area Files, a nonprofit formed by several universities. The "Provincetown Print", a white-line woodcut print. Rather than creating separate woodblocks for each color, one block was made and painted. Small groves between the elements of the design created the white line. Because the artists often used soft colors, they sometimes have the appearance of a watercolor painting. Marilyn Heilprin, Ruth Cahnmann, George Chung, Susana deQuadros, Susan Due Pearcy, Leo Saal and Ann Zahn are straightforwardly about the figure. One might even say it's about the act and traditions of painting the figure. Dubbing themselves the "Somerset Seven," the group meets periodically to paint from a model at Leon Saal's studio in Somerset, and later at Ann Zahn's studio. Leo Saal joined the CIA and came to the United States, settling in the Washington area. After retiring from the agency, he devoted himself to art. He was a founding member of such cooperative galleries as the Printmakers Gallery of Washington and Creative Partners in Bethesda. His work also was exhibited in other local galleries, including the Strathmore Hall Arts Center in Bethesda. White Line Woodcut Printing: Provincetown Printers were a group of artists, most of them women, who created art using woodblock printing techniques in Provincetown, Massachusetts during the early 20th-century. It was the first group of its kind in the United States, developed in an area when European and American avant-garde artists visited in number after World War I. The "Provincetown Print", a white-line woodcut print, was attributed to this group. Rather than creating separate woodblocks for each color, one block was made and painted. Small groves between the elements of the design created the white line. Because the artists often used soft colors, they sometimes have the appearance of a watercolor painting. Bror Julius Olsson Nordfeldt has been credited with developing the technique, based upon Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock printing, though there is evidence that a lesser-known Provincetown artist, Edith Lake Wilkinson, was making white-line prints in 1913, a year earlier than Nordfeldt's first known efforts.[5] Blanche Lazzell is said to have mastered the technique. Bill Evaul, a writer for Print Review in the late 1970s, was asked to write an article about "printmaking in Provincetown", but by that time many of the artists were no longer alive. Through research with Myron Stout and meeting with some surviving members, like Ferol Sibley Warthen, he learned the history about the Provincetown Print and later learned how to create works of art with the technique. Since then, he has promoted the white line woodcut technique in his historical research paper "Provincetown Printers: Genesis of a Unique Woodcut Tradition", taught and lectured about the technique, and has created and shown his version of the Provincetown Prints in exhibits.[10]
