Lowell Merritt Lee was a Wisconsin artist of note. He was born in either 1905 or 1906. I have not been able to determine his death date, but I believe it was around 1960. Lee was born in Michigan and studied in Ohio. He arrived in Milwaukee in 1934 or 1935. He was instrumental in the 1935 formation of a group known as Milwaukee Printmakers, and he served as the first president. One of the projects of the Milwaukee Printmakers was the production of a calendar that featured their work. It was produced featuring their prints (mostly woodcuts) in 1936, 1937, and 1938. Later, it was produced in a different manner, and featured mostly photographs of paintings. Lee's work was featured in the calendars, along with many other artists. There were 52 images in each calendar, plus the cover. Sometimes the artists produced extra prints and traded them with each other, and sold others. Here are a few of his prints.
