About the Item

Signed lower center, in pencil, 'Luigi Kasimir' (Austro-Hungarian, 1881-1962), annotated lower left, 'Queensborough Bridge' and with title and date, in-plate, lower left, 'New York, April 1936'. Paper dimensions: 12 x 17.75 inches Austrian etcher and painter Luigi Kasimir attended the Vienna Academy of Art where he studied under William Unger, who introduced him to colored etching. Kasimir was influenced by Anders Zorn and Karl von Kalckreuth and further studied with Sigmund L'Allemand. A pioneer in the colored etching technique, Kasimir began exhibiting in 1905 and received critical recognition soon after. Starting with a sketch, usually in pastel, Kasimir then transferred the design by hand on as many as four to six plates and applied the color by hand to each plate. The work of Luigi Kasimir is held in private and public collections throughout the world including in the permanent collections of New York's Metropolitan Museum and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, among others.

  • Mid Century French Impressionistic Etching - "Degel en Haute Loire"
    Located in Soquel, CA
    Mid Century Impressionistic French Etching - "Degel en Haute Loire" ("Thaw in High Loire) by Andre Jacquemin Wonderful French Impressionist winter landscape of Loire hills by Andre Jacquemin (French, 1904-1992), 1950. The bare trees and undulating landscape and hills draws the viewer in and evokes a peaceful and serene feeling. Signed and dated: Within etching and below image Series Number: 161/200 Condition: Good Image size: 8.25"H x 15"W Paper size: 15"H x 22"W Mat size: 20"H x 24"W André Jacquemin was born in Epinal, France in 1904. While attending art school in Paris he studied under Charles Walter, where he learnt the techniques of etching and practiced by copying the most famous artists and visited all the museums to learn more about the masterpieces of past and present. In 1925, he underwent military service at Fort de Domont outside Paris together with Louis-Joseph Soulas and Edouard Mac-Avoy. Four years later, with a few other up-and-coming artists including Yves Alix, Amédée de la Patellière and Jacques Villon, André Jacquemin founded "la jeune Gravure Contemporaine", a society of Printmakers. In 1930, he simultaneously received the Foundation Florence Blumenthal prize and an allowance to go on a study trip from Spain to Morocco for 14 months. Back from Morocco, his career developed very rapidly. At the beginning of 1932, he exhibited his work at the Simonson gallery. It was a success: he sold everything he had done in Morocco and Spain. The same year, he was elected as a fellow of the French Society of Painter-Etchers/Engravers (Peintres Graveurs Français). In 1936, he was awarded the national arts prize, given for the first time to an etcher. The following year he along with Jacques Villon, Marcel Gromaire 1937 Venice Biennale to represent French gravure...
