~ RICHARD CORRELL ~
Correll was born in Missouri, but spent most of his life on the West Coast. It was in Seattle that he was commissioned to make prints for the WPA Federal Art Project. Although he made etchings, he preferred the medium of woodcut or linoleum cut. From 1941 to 1952, Correll lived in New York City, and worked as an advertising designer and book illustrator. His talent at original printmaking was recognized, however, and Air Raid Wardens was one of two woodcuts included in the Artists for Victory catalogue and exhibition organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1942. His forceful style in bold black and white was used to depict subjects of social or political significance, such as labor revolts, civil rights, and antiwar themes, as well as images of the Pacific Northwest landscape and harbor scenes.
