This thesis is on the work and life of the American printmaker, Morris Henry Hobbs. In the 1930s and 1940s, Hobbs received national attention for his print series of Europe, Chicago, New Orleans and nudes as well as miniature prints known as 'postage stamp' etchings. Stylistically, he remained faithful to the representation tradition of the American 'Second Etching Revival' movement Hobbs exhibited regularly in regional and national exhibitions. Twice he had the distinction of having one-man shows at the Smithsonian Institution. His prints appeared in the leading annuals and journals of the day, including Pencil Points, Fine Prints of the Year, Contemporary American Etchers, Print Collector's Quarterly and Prize Winning Prints of the Twentieth Century. Hobbs' prints can be found in the collection of the Carnegie Institute, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, Library of Congress, Toledo Museum of Art, Tulane University, The Historic New Orleans Collection and Louisiana State Museum / acase@tulane.edu
