About

Why this artist matters now

Glen Alps was an American printmaker whose lithographs and woodcuts bridged figuration and geometric abstraction in the postwar period. Based in the Pacific Northwest, he developed a distinctive approach to landscape and non-representational forms, working across traditional and experimental printmaking techniques throughout a career spanning five decades. His practice exemplified the integration of European modernist principles with regional landscape sensibility.
