Margaret Lowengrund
Margaret Lowengrund (b. 1902 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; d. 1957 New York) was an American artist and a key figure in the American Print Renaissance of the 1950s and 1960s. She founded the pioneering Pratt-Contemporaries Graphic Art Center in 1956, originally the Contemporaries gallery founded in 1952 and which later became the Pratt Graphic Art Center upon her death.[1][2] She is known for her etchings, lithographs, and paintings and was a Works Progress Administration (WPA) artist.
Lowengrund's work is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art[3], the Spencer Museum of Art[4], the Library of Congress [5], and the National Gallery of Art.[6] Her work was included in the Office of Emergency Management Art in War exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in 1942.[7]
