Glen Alps

born Loveland, Colorado, 1914; died Seattle, Washington, 1996
BiographyGlen Alps received his bachelor of arts in education from Colorado State College (now Colorado State University) in 1940. After a brief stint teaching he decided to study art, receiving his master of fine arts from the University of Washington in 1947. Alps began teaching printmaking at the university while still working on his degree, and he continued in that role for almost 40 years, also serving as department head from 1979 to 1984. He was internationally known for his role in refining and popularizing the collagraph printmaking technique as well as championing the use of the silkscreen process in fine art. He exhibited work in Japan and Europe as well as across the United States, and his works can be found in numerous museum collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris, among many others.
