Prior to World War I, printmaking in the United States was, with a
few exceptions, primarily the domain of commercial enterprises that
produced largely picturesque European scenes or depictions of
popular towns on the East Coast. Prints of Minnesota scenes,
especially by Minnesota artists, formed a very small part of
American art exhibits.
Robert Crump relates the fascinating story of Minnesota's graphic
arts world and its growth from provincialism to part of a national
movement, showing how art printing--etchings, woodcuts,
lithographs, drypoints, monotypes, and silk screens--blossomed
after the turn of the last century. He chronicles the support of
the federal government during the 1930s and the important role
played by local organizations such as the Minneapolis Institute of
Art, the Walker Art Center, and the Minneapolis School of Art (now
the Minneapolis College of Art and Design).
"Minnesota Prints and Printmakers "offers short biographies of and
sample prints by nearly two hundred printmakers, including Wanda
Gag, Adolf Dehn, George Resler, Miriam Ibling, Syd Fossum, Gilbert
Fletcher, and Gustav Goetsch. Crump's eye for memorable images
makes the handsome volume a pleasure to behold for collectors and
readers interested in Minnesota art. Notes on printing techniques
and several appendixes help newcomers appreciate the challenges of
printmaking.
Robert L. Crump is a print collector and former superintendent of
the Minnesota State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition. He has been a
designer and an art director for companies in Minneapols and the
Midwest.
