It was a year of study in France that culminated in a one-man show at the La Gravure Gallery, Paris. Meeker used his Guggenheim Fellowship, one of the many fellowships and grants awarded to him during his career, to build on his expertise of the intaglio process. Dean’s work held the distinction of being the first of any faculty to be the subject of a doctoral thesis in Art History. In 1959, while developing an innovative combination of serigraphy and intaglio printing, he was awarded the first Guggenheim Fellowship in the UW Art Department. Meeker was an internationally recognized printmaker and sculptor, and Professor Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
