Maurice R. Bebb
Maurice R. Bebb (1891–1986) (or "M. R. Bebb" as he signed his work) was a notable etcher and printmaker of the American Midwest, whose best-known subjects were birds to Oklahoma and Minnesota, where he spent his time. Etching involves using copper plates on which an artist has etched or “bitten” his picture with acid. Color etchings like Bebb's require two to four copper plates, each is inked with one or more different colors and printed one over the other to
to portray what he sees, and as simply as possible, places him high among his fellow artists”.

In January 2011, students at Sadler Arts Academy in Muskogee, OK received a grant from The Kennedy Center to make a short film about Bebb. Bebb created over 175 subjects and today his work can be found in several permanent collections including those of Cornell University and the University of Kansas.
