Fritz Eichenberg
(October 24, 1901–November
30, 1990) was a German-American graphic artist, primarily working
in wood engraving and lithography. He served as chair of URI’s Art
Department from 1966-1971, establishing its print shop there. While
primarily known for his strong and visually powerful wood engravings
illustrating classics from Bronte to Tolstoy and for his work in social
and pacifist imagery, he began his professional career illustrating as a
staff artist for Ullstein. From political cartoons to children’s stories,
Eichenberg was
a virtuoso at creating mood and movement in his works. A bibliography of
his works for children is available in Special
Collections.
