Artist

Starr Wood

Starr Wood is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Starr Wood printed the Beard Collection in 1899 while living above a New York print shop that smelled of ink and boiled coffee. She turned celebrity caricatures into clean, bold silhouettes, cutting each face out by hand so it looked sharp even from three feet away. You’ll spot her style in the hallway of the New York Public Library’s Periodicals Room, where the Beard volumes still sit on the shelves behind the microfilm viewers.
