In the spring of 1915, a group of American art students, including
Edna Boies Hopkins, left wartime Paris and settled in Provincetown,
Massachusetts. Here, they began making prints with Japanese-inspired
compositions using a unique technique--a "white line" color-woodcut
method--that would come to represent the group. A principal print-maker
in the art colony, Hopkins lived and studied in Japan and Paris
before returning to the United States.
