Historical NotesLila B. Hetzel was a well-known figure in the Pittsburgh art community throughout the twentieth century. Lila Barr Hetzel, daughter of prominent Pittsburgh artist George Hetzel and Marie Louise Siegrist Hetzel, was born on October 23, 1873 in the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Edgewood. Against her father's wishes, she pursued an art career, studying at the Pittsburgh School of Design with Martin B. Leisser and D. B. Walkley. Eventually her father accepted her vocational choice, but due to his early refusal to teach her, she developed a painting style quite unlike his.
