The Lore Degenstein Gallery brings to the Susquehanna University community a selection of recent works of current members of the Society of American Graphic Artists. A not-for-profit national organization of fine art printmakers, the society originated in Brooklyn, NY, in 1915 as the "Brooklyn Society of Etchers." After undergoing several name changes, in 1952 it became the Society of American Graphic Artists. Founding members were Troy Kinney, Eugene Higgins, Fred Reynolds, Paul Roche, and Ernest Roth, the society's first president. The first exhibition was held in 1916 at the Brooklyn Museum, featuring 197 works by member artists adding John Taylor Arms, Frank W. Benson, Mary Cassatt, Childe Hassam, John Marin, and Mahonri Young. The society continued to grow during the 1930s. Prominent members at that time included John Sloan and Reginald Marsh. The Society took on several new initiatives offering exhibit exchanges with European print clubs and a selection of miniature prints in its anual shows. Over the past 80 years the society has organized over 65 national print exhibitions in addition to international, traveling, and exchange exhibitions. These exhibitions have presented various techniques and artistic styles which represent a cross-section of American printmaking. 63 original graphic works by 21 current members of the society are featured in this exhibition at the gallery, including etchings, lithographs, woodcuts, and other print media. The exhibition was organized for the Thomas J. Walsh Gallery of Fairfield University located in Fairfield, Conneticut, where it appeared in late 1994.
