BIO:

John Ross: A fine contemporary printmaker, illustrator and author, John Ross studied art in New York at the Pratt Institute and at Atelier 17. A full member of the Society of American Graphic Artists, Ross has exhibited his engravings and woodcuts throughout the United States and major international expositions. He is currently represented by the Pratt Manhattan Gallery, New York.

Besides creating many fine individual works of art, such as Metropolis, Ross is also well known for his artistic collaborations with his wife, Clare Romano (b. 1922), an equally famous contemporary printmaker. Together they have illustrated many great books, such as C. W. Chesnutt's, Conjure Tales (1973). As well, Ross and Romano co-authored The Complete Printmaker (1991), which is considered to be one of the best modern books on the subject.

The original prints of John Ross are today included in many major public and private collections. The most recent exhibition of his art took place at Rutgers University in September, 2001, and was entitled, "Prints by John Ross and Clare Romano". less
