Ora Inge Maxim — Hollyhock Lane, Provincetown
Ora Inge Maxim

Hollyhock Lane, Provincetown

1930

This charming metal relief print depicts a quiet residential street lined with modest cottages, their steep roofs and colorful chimneys characteristic of early twentieth-century New England architecture. A solitary figure in dark clothing stands in the center of the lane, while hollyhocks and other garden flowers bloom along a white picket fence. The composition employs bold black outlines and a restrained palette of greens, yellows, reds, and earth tones, creating a sense of order and domestic tranquility. The distant view of water and a small sailboat suggest the artist's familiarity with coastal New England life. This work exemplifies the regionalist and folk art traditions that flourished among Provincetown artists during the early modern period.
