The German-American illustrator and art educator Fritz Eichenberg (1901-1990) is best known for his wood engravings. His best-known works reflected on religion, social justice and nonviolence. A critic of the German government and its policies in the 1930's, he emigrated to New York and taught at the New School for Social Research and the Pratt Institute. After teaching at the institute for over 9 years, he founded The Pratt Graphic Art Center in 1956, serving as it's director until 1972. Throughout his career Eichenberg contributed illustrations to periodicals, including the "Catholic Worker" and "The Nation" and illustrated numerous books, including works by Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Charlotte and Emily Bronte, Poe and Swift. Eichenberg was part of the WPA's Federal Arts Project.
