Lynwood Kreneck organized the first
Colorprint USA exhibition in 1969
because he recognized the need to bring
contemporary original fine art prints to
Lubbock to benefit students, faculty and the
Lubbock community.
Colorprint USA 2006
marks the 18th Colorprint exhibition that he has directed or
curated.

For
this 2006 edition of Colorprint,
Krenec k
began extensive travel in the
Fall of 2005 seeking some of the finest and
most interesting contemporary prints
available. The Colorprint 2006
show features work from some of
America’s most established printmakers, as
well as a selection of young and emerging
artists, some of whom are recent
recipients of the MFA degree. Among the
latter are Kevin Shook,
teaching in Birmingham, Alabama and 3-D
printmaker
Michael Litzau in Columbus, Ohio.
Kre neck has a legacy of over thirty-five
years of former printmaking students, most
of whom have gone into the professional
field and still actively make prints. This
was
recently acknowledged by the Southern
Graphics Council,
a national printmaking organization, which
honored him with the 2006 lifetime
achievement for Excellence in Teaching
Printmaking Award. Among TTU
alumni included in Colorprint 2006
are recent graduates, Brandon Gardner,
Assistant Professor of Art at the University
of Alabama in Huntsville and Jon Goebel,
Instructor at Monmouth University, West Long
Branch,
New Jersey. Other alumni in the exhibit
