Reviews"Warrington Colescott's prints have been a secret pleasure of the printmaking world for decades. Erudite and earthy, they satirize conservative and liberal America with equal glee. Presidents, artists, great thinkers, and the great unwashed are scrutinized and skewered with a deft and often daffy stroke. These popular prints have found their way into many collections, and this invaluable work allows the lovers of Colescott's ingenuity a clear sense of his entire extensive oeuvre. In addition, the essays give a sense of Colescott's background and the complex technical innovation that the artist summons to support his colorful take on America."-Andrew Stevens, curator of prints, drawings, and photographs, Chazen Museum of Art, University of WisconsinMadison, "Colescott is one of the most fortunate and revered artists of his generation, who has excelled as a teacher, an influential artist, and a contributor to the critical mass of modern print history."--Mark Pascale, curator in the Department of Prints and Drawings, the Art Institute of Chicago, "Colescott is one of the most fortunate and revered artists of his generation, who has excelled as a teacher, an influential artist, and a contributor to the critical mass of modern print history."-Mark Pascale, curator in the department of prints and drawings, the Art Institute of Chicago, "Chapin has performed an excellent, and much-needed, service with The Prints of Warrington Colescott by placing this important artist in proper context and reminding us all that socially engaged art can be finely crafted, well considered, and delightful to look at."--R.K.

SynopsisSince the 1940s, printmaker Warrington Colescott has trained his brilliant artistic eye on the fashions and foibles of human behavior. A satirist in the tradition of William Hogarth, Francisco Goya, Honoré Daumier, and George Grosz, Colescott utilizes his sharp wit and vivid imagination to interpret contemporary and historical events, from the personal to the public, the local to the international. He is especially noted for his exceptional command of complex printmaking techniques and for his innovative approach to intaglio printing. The Prints of Warrington Colescott: A Catalogue Raisonné, 1948-2008 is the first fully illustrated catalogue to document Colescott's extensive and varied graphic career. Author and curator Mary Weaver Chapin has worked closely with Colescott, interviewed him at length, and had unique access to his private papers and archives. She documents his personal and artistic life in a detailed biographic sketch, and her extensive essay "Research Printmaker and Mad-Dog Attack Artist" examines the evolution of his printmaking career, focusing on his technique, iconography, and his place in American printmaking. The catalogue documents and depicts all 359 of Colescott's editioned prints, providing title, date, media, dimensions, and selected exhibition history and collections for each print, along with comments and anecdotes by Chapin and Colescott., Since the 1940s, printmaker Warrington Colescott has trained his brilliant artistic eye on the fashions and foibles of human behavior.
