About the Item
Martha Reed was the daughter of the artist Doel Reed and as an adult she joined her parents in Taos, New Mexico.
There she designed clothes with a south-western aesthetic and had a shop for three decades.
She showed at the Ward Eggleston Gallery, NYC, in the 1950s.
This (Color Abstraction) may in fact be a modernist 'head.' If so it is probably male, not female, but one can't be sure. It's a wonderful 'moderne' image -- a linocut on tan paper, signed in pencil.
