Caroline Spelman Wogan Durieux's contribution to printmaking has long been overlooked. During her almost sixty year career which included studies at Newcomb College and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and working with Diego Rivera, she created over four hundred known works of art. More importantly, she developed a new printing technique, electron printing and refined a nineteenth century form of printmaking--cliche-verre. These works are not only technically innovative but powerful in their emotional and aesthetic impact. She was a highly intelligent and sensitive person who always brought meaning and emotion to her work. Her work was well received by such art critics as Anita Brenner, Jose Grostiza, Rene d'Harnoncourt and Carl Zigrosser--all of whom praised her satiric wit. She continued to exhibit nationally and internationally, but fewer people seemed interested in her work. In the art world where Abstract Expressionism and the figurative paintings of the New York School were all the rage, there was little room for Durieux's small prints no matter how innovative. She received many awards for her work, yet national critics no longer took notice. This thesis will chronicle her long and productive career, re-examine and provide a more comprehensive picture of her accomplishments
