GLEN E. ALPS b. 1914 Loveland, Colorado; d. 1996, Seattle, Washington
A master sculptor and printmaker, Glen E. Alps is widely known as having developed the collagraph. A collagraph is a print made using a collage printmaking technique where the image is composed of a variety of textured materials glued to a substrate (plate) and printed in either intaglio or relief fashion. The first such prints were made in the 1930s, although it is impossible to say with certainty who invented the process. Glen Alps made collagraphy his primary art form and used the technique in ways that were uniquely his own. He coined the tern "collagraph" in 1956 while teaching printmaking at the School of Art at the University of Washington.
Alps studies at the University of Northern Colorado and was awarded the Master of Fine Arts from the University of Washington. He did postgraduate work at the University of Iowa. Professor Alps taught at University of Washington School of Art for nearly forty years. His prints can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Art Institute of Chicago; Los Angeles County Museum; National Gallery in Stockholm, Sweden; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Seattle Art Museum and may others.
