Elsie Driggs

Elsie Driggs (1898 – July 12, 1992 in New York City) was an American painter known for her contributions to Precisionism, America's one indigenous modern-art goings-on before Abstract Expressionism, and for her difficult floral and figurative watercolors, pastels, and oils. She was the unaided female participant in the Precisionist movement, which in the 1920s and 1930s took a Cubist-inspired entrйe to painting the skyscrapers and factories that had come to clarify the further American landscape. Her works are in the hoard of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Houston Museum of the Fine Arts, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the James A. Michener Art Museum in Pennsylvania, and the Columbus Museum of Art, among others. She was married to the American abstract player Lee Gatch.
