content: Beatrice Wood (1883-1998) was an acclaimed artist, best known for her work as a ceramicist and her role in founding the Dada Movement. While working in the Los Angeles art scene during the 1930s, she was introduced to master printer Lynton Kistler, who persuaded her to take up printmaking and gifted her a set of materials to learn lithography. Wood’s prints were often simple and satirical. This lithograph showing a an untitled torso was printed in about 1932 and was included in her first solo lithographic exhibit at the Stendahl Galleries.
