| Description: | Z. Vanessa Helder, (1904-1968) was born Lynden, Washington. Vanessa Helder's work is often identified with a style known as precisionism for the sharp, linear edges used to define objects. Precisionist images celebrate America's fledgling 20th century industrial and urban age, capturing the crisp geometry of factories, skyscrapers, bridges, and architecture. Working in watercolor, Helder took this style to new heights, creating works that radiate clear color and showing a rare talent for tightly controlling a medium known for its fluidity and soft, blurred lines.
