TAG Featured Artist - Michael Krueger
Michael Krueger has shown with TAG several times in the past couple of years. We recently added some of his print work for sale on the website and felt it was a good time to bring it to everyone's attention.
Michael is a renowned print maker and professor of drawing and printmaking at the University of Kansas.His work is characterized by an insistence on narrative and line. He uses traditional printmaking techniques such as lithography and intaglio, as well as various digital technologies, often combining several techniques in a single print. His imagery reflects a deep interest in American history, the history of art, and contemporary American culture. While Krueger's style often recalls nineteenth-century popular illustration, his graphic sensibility is rooted squarely in contemporary American visual culture. His idiosyncratic images often combine elements culled from both history and the present-day. A number of his recent prints and drawings include figures and subjects from the history of early Kansas as it relates to the American Civil War, such as William Quantrill, U.S. Senator James Lane, and the so-called “Wakarusa War.” As he has stated, Krueger is “interested in recanting history through art and creating narrative scenes that will provoke thoughtful repose.”
