Jules Heller (1919-2007) was a pioneering American artist, author, teacher, and arts administrator who spent nearly seven decades exploring all sorts of printmaking and papermaking techniques. Heller wrote the first studio textbook on the graphic arts, Printmaking Today, originally published in 1958. It influenced many generations of artists, as did his book Papermaking (1978). He also did important research on the history of female artists—including then-neglected Mexican and Inuit women, and was Editor of the graphic-arts journal Impression. The recipient of many awards, his work is represented in prestigious public and private collections. (julesheller.net).
