On Thursday, the WVU Arts Museum Education Center displayed a piece of art from the Blanche Lazzell collection.

     
The artwork is named "Color Woodblock Prints in America." It was originally displayed at the Detroit Institute of Art in 1919.  It's the third color woodblock print Lazzell produced. 

The WVU Arts Museum Education Center has more than a hundred of her works in storage. It hopes to be able to open an official WVU art museum in 2014.
