Stow Wengenroth is regarded as one of America's greatest masters of lithographic art. Born into an artistic family in Brooklyn in 1906 he studied at New York's Art Students League under George Bridgman from 1923 to 1925 and the Grand Central School of Art under Wayman Adams from 1925 to 1927. He launched his career in 1931 with his first gallery showing of lithographs in New York.

Today the original lithographs of Stow Wengenroth can be found in most major American collections, such as, the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Fogg Museum of Art, Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and in many private collections.

American painter Andrew Wyeth once referred to Wengenroth as "America's greatest artist working in black and white."
