Above: "First Ice," a screen print on wove paper, by Leonard Pytlak (1910-1998), created while he was in the WPA, ca. 1941. An article in the October 24th, 1942 edition of The Evening Standard newspaper (Uniontown, Pennsylvania) noted that Pytlak had "won the Guggenheim Fellowship in 1941" for his silkcreen color experiments ("Artist's Use of Stencil Gives Wide Color Range," p. 6).
