On display are 43 works on paper and 6 paintings by the only American woman to achieve notable success in the mural movement of the early 20th century. Selected from a 1979 retrospective at the Philadelphia Museum of Fine Art, they survey her work as an illustrator, muralist, and designer of stained glass windows.
