Jerry Bywaters, Lone Star Printmaker: A Study of His Print Notebook, With a Catalogue of His Prints and a Checklist of His Illustrations and Ephemeral Works

"The publication of Jerry Bywaters, Lone Star Printmaker marks an important moment in the history of Texas art. It is the first true catalogue raisonné of a Texas printmaker and serves as a benchmark for all others to follow. Niewyk has chronicled the life of Dallas's most enthusiastic proponent of the Texas Regionalist movement and his role in the creation of the Lone Star Printmakers. This book is an important research tool for anyone interested in the development of Texas art in the 1930s and 40s."--Kevin Vogel, director, Valley House Gallery

Representing the first comprehensive overview of Jerry Bywaters's prints and printmaking career, Niewyk's study will serve as an introduction to the artist's work with lithographic and block prints. Art historians and collectors interested in Texas art will find it an invaluable reference tool.

Thirty-four black-and-white lithographs and five full-color block prints are reproduced, in addition to Bywaters's book illustrations, many of his ephemeral works, and photographs of the artist and his subjects.
