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. Her prints were simple and satirical; "Mama's Boy," printed in 1932, is a black and white lithograph which was included in her first solo lithographic exhibit at the Stendahl Galleries.
