| Abstract: | Artist Lillian Wilhelm Smith (1882-1971) spent most of her life in Arizona, painting the people and places of the region. She first visited Arizona in 1913 with author Zane Grey (1872-1939), a cousin by marriage, to illustrate his western themed books. After a period of return visits, during which she became inspired by the people and landscapes of Arizona, she decided to move permanently to the state in 1916. This collection contains biographical information, family documents, correspondence, newspaper clippings, personal journals, photographs, chinaware designs, drawings and artwork covering Smith’s life in Arizona. The collection also includes information regarding Smith’s She-Kay-Ah chinaware designs, Hopi Whirlwind and Navajo Motif, as well as materials of her collaborations with author Zane Grey and poet Lou Ella Archer-Elliott. | ||
