Glen Alps

Glen Alps was a printmaker and educator who is credited with having developed the collagraph.〔Chris Parent, "Glen Alps: A tribute to a friend and mentor", () Accessed 5/11/2001〕 A collagraph is a print whose plate is a board or other substrate onto which textured materials are glued. The plate may be inked for printing in either the intaglio or the relief manner and then printed onto paper. Although the inventor of the process is not known, Alps made collagraphy his primary art form and coined the word "collagraph" in 1956.〔Parent, () Accessed 7/21/09〕 He disseminated the techniques he developed for making collagraphs during his long career as both an artist and a teacher.
==Early life and education==

Alps was born in 1914 on a farm near Loveland, Colorado. He attended Colorado State College of Education (today University of Northern Colorado) in Greeley, Colorado, where he received the Bachelor of Arts in 1940. After graduation he worked as an art instructor in the Greeley County school system until 1942, when he took a job in the publishing department of Culver Aircraft Factory in Wichita. In 1945 he returned to school at the University of Washington in Seattle, where he was awarded the Master of Fine Arts in 1947. During that summer Alps studied with printmaker Mauricio Lasansky (b. 1914) at the University of Iowa.〔Nichols, Iris J., "Glen E. Alps", transcript of lecture for the Northwest Print Council, given on October 11, 1997 in the Falcon Lounge at Seattle Pacific University, Seattle, Washington p. 4〕
Alps's early work in printmaking was in keeping with the realism of American Regionalists Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood,〔Nichols, 1977〕 but by the end of 1947 his work had turned toward abstraction and vivid color, judiciously used. The excitement of printmaking for Alps was in the creative process. He preferred small editions to large ones, and was prolific in his production. At this time he worked in lithography, screenprinting and etching. A favorite abstract motif was the circle in a square which, according to arts reviewer John Voorhees, became a type of "trademark" for the artist that he often used in his work.〔Voorhees, John, The Seattle Times, p. 18, March 8, 1970〕
