Adolf Dehn

Born in Waterville, Minnesota in 1895, Dehn began professionally selling lithographs around 1920 and helped define Regionalism and Social Realism art movements in America. After exploring Europe in the early 20s, he returned and largely documented the Midwest and New York City during and after the Great Depression. By the time of his death, he had created over 650 prints.

Albrecht Dürer

Dürerwas an influencial Renaissance artist born in Nuremburg, Germany in 1471. His travels also took him to Italy and the Netherlands where he created a vast body of work including wood cut prints, paintings, and engravings. His watercolours in particular made him one of Europe's first landscape artists.

Lucien Gautier

Gautier was a French etcher during the late 1800s and early 1900s who is most widely known for his portrayals of Paris and other French cities. His work extends to include other major European cities such as Venice, London, and Rome.
