Stow Wengenroth (1906–1978) was an American artist and lithographer, born in 1906 in Brooklyn, New York.
Wengenroth was once called "America's greatest living artist working in black and white" by the American realist painter Andrew Wyeth, and he is generally considered to be one of the finest American lithographers of the twentieth century.
He was elected an Associate of the prestigious National Academy of Design in 1938, and a full Academician in 1941.
As an artist, he eschewed colour in his lithographs but rather focused on shadow, light, and form to transmit detail and dimension.
While his urban scenes of Manhattan and the New York City environs are especially coveted by the current market, Wengenroth was most adept at creating sincere yet vivid simulacra of the New England littoral and interior.
