A seasoned world traveler, Dorr Bothwell applied her broad knowledge of decorative arts to paintings and prints that are extremely sophisticated and well designed. In the early 1920s she studied at the California School of Fine Arts with Gottardo Piazzoni, whose segmented, subtly hued landscapes proved to be a major influence on her work. In 1928 she traveled alone to American Samoa, where she lived for two years making block prints, drawings, and watercolors. She later studied art history and painting in England, France, and Germany, where she became conversant with surrealism. Returning home, she taught color and design in San Francisco, focusing in her own work on intriguingly enigmatic, symbolic paintings with private significance. Bothwell brought an extraordinary variety of media and techniques into her practice. Conversant with traditional art-making practices such as the use of egg tempera, she never hesitated to mix media, variously utilizing in her works oil painting, photography, screen printing, watercolo, sculpture, textile design, collage, and assemblage.
