“You can peer up close at the softly diminishing glow. You can back away. You can stare through one of the magnifying glasses provided at the entrance to 'Telling American History,' the enthralling new print show at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Conn. But you won’t be able to figure out how Stow Wengenroth (1906-1978), the Brooklyn-born master lithographer, managed to bring the diffuse haze of city streetlamps on a damp night to a sheet of inked paper. His riveting scenes of a velvety, darkened city — distant figures trudging through a snow-filled street in 'Lower Fifth Avenue,' an eerily empty sidewalk in 'Quiet Hour,' the deserted walkway of the Brooklyn Bridge in 'Manhattan Gateway' — are among the high points of this show...” —Sylviane Gold, The New York Times, Sept. 5, 2013.
