Prints of Minnesota scenes, especially by Minnesota artists, formed a very small part of American art exhibits. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRobert 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). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMinnesota Prints and Printmakers \u003c\/i\u003eoffers 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.
