Lynwood Krenecks screenprints are recognized throughout the world
for their imaginative, often humor-filled content, vivid colors,
and always superb technical execution. His print series, such as
""Space Probes"", ""Earths Mysteries Solved"", ""Great Moments in
Domestic Mishaps"", and ""Clownz"", show wit combined with care and
passion for the screenprinting form. This personal, casual, and
straightforward story follows the artists rise from a lonely
childhood on a South Texas farm to recognition as one of the
leading printmakers in the world today. The story begins with
Krenecks youth during the lean World War II years and continues
through his education in advertising at the University of Texas in
Austin, his mentoring by printmaker and teacher Constance Forsyth,
and his decision to abandon a successful advertising career to make
his own art. After earning his MFA at the University of Texas,
Kreneck joined the faculty at Texas Tech University, where he has
remained through a career of nearly four decades. As a teacher,
Kreneck has himself been a mentor to many printmakers. He is also
the founder of Colorprint U.S.A., one of the most influential print
exhibits in the world today, and he has had a primary influence on
the development of water-based inks, which have made screenprinting
labs safer for teachers, students, and professional artists. This
book is filled with full-color reproductions of many of Krenecks
screenprints, and it includes a step-by-step description of the
artists new screenprinting technique, which he calls no prints. It
also gives readers a glimpse of some of the outrageously inventive
ideas of this colorful yet careful printmaker, who has dedicated
his career to making his art, paving the way for others to make
their art, and promoting printmaking as an art form. Owning this
beautiful book will be a pleasure not only for the insight it gives
into Krenecks body of work, but also for its fascinating, personal
resume of his life and career.
