This chronological description of prints highlights the innovative career of Leo Katz the artist, author, educator, and philosopher.
26 Prints: A Catalogue Raisonné of Lithographs, Etchings, and Engravings by Leo Katz documents the broad range of Katz's skills, from landscape to portraits to murals all captured in the form of prints pulled by Katz himself. His personal descriptions of the inspiration and crafting of each piece accompany each work. They highlight his creative risks, achievements, and social commentaries for that post-World War timeframe. In addition, the list of museums that include the prints in their collections are identified.
The 26 prints span the period of 1932-1966 and reflect the global experiences, including world wars, immigration, North American travel, and the resurrection of printmaking and engraving in New York City where Leo taught many classes and workshops.
The introduction details the resurgence of printmaking in the art world when it formally entered the United States in the early 20th century. It describes Katz's contributions to both the physical and philosophical evolution of the printmaking art form through his teaching and leadership at the Atelier 17 print Workshop, George Miller Studios, the New School for Social Research, as well as many colleges in New York.
