Biographical / Historical

Grace Martin (Frame) Taylor (February 11, 1903 - October 1, 1995) was born in Scotts Run, near Morgantown, West Virginia. She graduated from West Virginia University in 1929. She earned her Master of Arts there in 1949. She studied under Blanche Lazzell, West Virginia's most renowned artist, and like Lazzell, she studied under the noted abstract artist Hans Hofmann in Provincetown, Massachusetts. She also attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia.

Her art, in several media including oils and watercolor, is modernist in style, showing a preference for abstraction. She is best characterized from the following quote of a review of her Lynn Laskin Gallery show of December 1957 in Charleston: "Here is an artist of great seriousness of aesthetic purpose, singular individuality of style, with special strengths of inventiveness and finely-balanced painting constructions. These are paintings in which the true, serious nature of abstract art should become apparent."

As an educator, Grace Martin Taylor taught in Charleston, WV at Mason College of Music and Fine Arts. She began work in their art department in 1931 and would ascend to the presidency in 1956. In 1956, Mason College merged with Morris Harvey College (now University of Charleston), where Taylor would work as a professor of art till 1968.

Grace married Wilbur C. Frame in 1929; they had one daughter together, Lucie Anne, and later divorced. Grace then married William E. Taylor in 1951. She died in Charleston, WV.
