Mabel Dwight
Mabel Dwight was an American artist whose lithographs showed scenes of ordinary life with humor and compassion.〔 Between the mid-1920s and the early 1940s she achieved both popularity and critical success. In 1936 ''Prints'' magazine named her one of the best living printmakers and a critic said she was one of the foremost lithographers in the United States.〔〔
==Early life and education==
Born in Cincinnati and raised in New Orleans, she moved to San Francisco in the late 1880s. There, she studied with Arthur Mathews at the Mark Hopkins Institute.〔〔 She joined and became a director of the Sketch Club, the city's artists' association for women〔 and the club's tenth semi-annual exhibition in 1897 gave her the first opportunity to show her work to the public.〔〔 In her mid-20s she traveled extensively, visiting Egypt, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), India, and Java (now Indonesia).〔 Returning to the United States in 1903, she settled in Greenwich Village, then known as a locale friendly to artists.〔〔 For the next few years she tried to establish herself as a professional artist and was listed in the ''American Art Annual'' from 1903 to 1906 as a painter and illustrator.〔 She met and in 1906 married fellow artist Eugene Patrick Higgins. Although they were both socialists, and hence espoused equality of the sexes, Dwight fell into the role of help mate and stopped painting.〔〔〔She later wrote: "domesticity followed and for many years (my) career as an artist was in abeyance." (Robinson, Susan Barnes, and John Pirog. Mabel Dwight: A Catalogue Raisonné of the Lithographs. Washington, D.C., Smithsonian Institution Press, 1997)〕
In 1917 Dwight and Higgins separated and she resumed her painting career. The following year she joined Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney's newly founded Whitney Studio Club〔The Whitney Studio Club was an organization for promoting modern American art that evolved into the present-day Whitney Museum of American Art〕 and became secretary to Juliana Force, the club's director.〔 Over the next few years she attended life drawing sessions and showed at annual exhibitions that the club held. Although she made some experiments with etching, she worked mainly in watercolor at this time.〔〔〔
