Anna Heyward Taylor
Anna Heyward Taylor, born in Columbia, South Carolina in 1879, is known primarily for her woodblock prints. Taylor was also a skilled watercolorist, as well as a graphic and landscape artist. A descendant of a wealthy cotton family from Columbia, South Carolina, Anna Heyward Taylor moved to New York where she lived for much of the 1920s. In 1929, she moved to Charleston permanently and became well-known for her woodblock prints of nature studies and women flower vendors, while being active in the Charleston Renaissance group of artists. Taylor died in 1956 in Charleston, South Carolina. Her work is held by the Greenville Museum of Art, the Gibbes Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History, the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, and the Lowe Art Museum in Florida.
