Biographical Information JOEL L. ELGIN Joel Elgin earned both the M.A. and M.F.A. from the University of Iowa under Mauricio Lasansky. He taught for five years at Dartmouth College before his present position as Professor of Printmaking at The University of Wisconsin LaCrosse. Elgin has served as a Lecturer/Visiting Artist at such places as Yale University, Swarthmore College and Auburn University. His prints have been exhibited in over seventy-five exhibitions and are included in numerous permanent collections including Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, Harvard University Art Museums, and the Cincinnati Art Museum. The etchings consist of multiple plate color intaglio, simultaneous color printing methods, digital methods, and lithography. The image making methods utilized were learned from Lasansky; and reveal a very physical approach with deep aquatint etch, extensive scraping, multiple passes through the press as well as any other printmaking trick needed to support the content of the image. Jim Cuno, Director of Harvard University's Fogg Museum, stated after adding one of Elgin's etchings to the collection, that Elgin's work is "truly a product of the printmakers kitchen".
