William Weege was always interested in unusual and experimental textures in printmaking. For example, he has been known to adhere cut and sewn pieces of paper to his work, and to print images on objects, like records. During his early career, his work often contained political messages about war and peace. Weege was born in Milwaukee and spent most of his life in Wisconsin. He received his MA and his MFA from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and went on to teach there for most of his career. From 1968 to 1970, Weege served as the Director of the Experimental Workshop at the Smithsonian Institution, at which time he made this print.
