Noah Breuer is an American artist and Professor of Print Media at the University at Buffalo, SUNY. His practice occupies the intersection of traditional printmaking and 21st-century digital technology, utilizing this hybrid approach to examine themes of family identity, labor, and the Jewish diaspora.
Breuerβs current research focuses on the cultural and economic legacy of early-20th-century Jewish-owned textile printing companies in Czech Bohemia. Through what he describes as a "reclamation project," Breuer investigates his own familyβs lost industrial history, resurrecting and reinterpreting archival designs to explore the tension between ancestral memory and contemporary artistic ownership. By translating domestic textile motifs into fine art prints, he breathes new life into a suppressed heritage, transforming historical artifacts into a modern visual language.
His work is held in prestigious international permanent collections, including the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, the New York Public Library, and the Brooklyn Museum. Additionally, his artist books and prints are part of the Watson Library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Schneider Museum of Art.
