This site is about printmaking as an art form in the US during the 1920's and 1930's. Often referred to as 'between the wars,' this period was an extremely rich period in American art and social history. This site will attempt to provide a starting point for finding web resources on an interesting, and often overlooked artform that became popular during that time period.
Printmaking is a fundamentally different kind of art form from painting and drawing.
After the labor intensive process of creating the plate, block or stone that will be printed, many prints can usually be produced that are basically exactly the same. Both media flourished during the 1920's and 30's. However, whereas information about the photography of the period is relatively easy to find, information about printmaking provides a bigger challenge, and is often merged into descriptions of painting, or painters. This site is not about how to find images on the web. If you are looking for images by a specific artist, or of a specific thing, there are lots of tools to help you, but it would be too large to list them here.
