The Graphic Work of Edwin Fulwider: A Catalogue Raisonne presents specifics on over 180 fine prints created by American artist Edwin Fulwider (1913-2003) over an approximate 55-year period. The catalogue begins with his first lithograph Steel, produced as a student at the John Herron Art School in Bloomington, Indiana, circa 1935, and ends with his production of serigraphs, woodblocks, and small lithographs in the late-1980s. Working for most of his life in the University system Edwin Fulwider seldom found time to seek gallery representation for either his graphic work or his paintings. In 1973, he retired from academia and retreated to Lakeview Landing, Bayview, Idaho, where he continued to paint and occasionally print new images. In the fall of 1992, he and his wife moved to Green Valley, Arizona. Edwin Fulwider was first, and perhaps foremost, a product of the late 1930's American Scene art movement. Influenced by the likes of Thomas Hart Benton and John Stewart Curry, Fulwider would later write in 1987: The American Scene was a remarkable development in American Art, one with a profound influence upon the artist and public alike. When Benton, Wood, and Curry left the studio flower arrangements and posed still life, the public received its greatest shock. It learned that art is wherever there are artists. Over the course of his professional term Edwin Fulwider witnessed great interest in his art, and later disinterest, as abstract expressionism and other "modern" art forms took the publics and the critics fancy. He was honored toward the end of his life to see a resurgence in American Scene art and to be included in retrospective exhibits. Edwin Fulwider's graphic work, illustrated in this catalogue, comes mostly, and posthumously, from the artist’s storage area where many prints had lain unseen by anyone but the artist, in some cases, for more than fifty years. Working extensively with the notes of Edwin Fulwider, autobiographical information, and family oral history, a comprehensive chronology was developed. The chronology presents data relating to his printed work, as well as to his painting. To see examples of Edwin Fulwider's graphic work click here.
