Howell, Douglass Morse (American papermaker, 1906-1994)
|
Note: Howell learned to make paper by hand in France after WWII. After 1946, in New York, he built a pulp beater, which he used to create his own woodcuts and book works, and to make paper for other artists including Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Dorothy Dehner and Alfonso Ossorio. He was the primary papermaker for Universal Limited Art Editions, which published prints by Jasper Johns, Larry Rivers and Robert Rauschenberg. Howell experimented with three-dimensional works created on wire molds. His 'papetries' were exhibited at the Betty Parsons Gallery in 1955, and retrospectives of his papers were held at the American Craft Museum in 1982, and the New York Public Library in 1987. |
