Armin Landeck
Printmaker Armin Landeck was born in Crandon, Wisconsin, and spent his childhood in Oshkosh and in Toledo, Ohio. Before enrolling at Columbia University, he studied for two years at the University of Michigan. In New York he took summer classes at the Art Students League and visited the city's museums and galleries. By the time of his graduation from Columbia in 1927, he had become interested in printmaking and had bought a used press. In 1928 and 1929 he traveled and worked in Europe, seeing the work of the old masters and also modern art, sketching and making etchings wherever he could find an opportunity to use a press. He was greatly interested in the cubist art he saw in Paris, and the angular facets of his early compositions reflect that fascination. Returning to the United States in 1929, he settled on a farm in East Cornwall, Connecticut, but spent a great deal of time in New York City, moving back there in 1935 to teach printmaking. Throughout the 1930s he worked in etching, aquatint, drypoint, and lithography. Study with Stanley William Hayter at the New School for Social Research in New York in the early 1940s led to Landeck's extensive use of the engraving medium, but he continued to work in other etching media as well. In 1953 he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship that permitted him to work in Paris and to travel again through Europe. He retired from teaching in 1958 and moved back to his Connecticut farm, where he died in 1984. Landeck focused on the city in much of his work. As a student at Columbia University, Landeck earned a degree in architecture, and this training is reflected in his careful rendering of buildings and their details. In Pop's Tavern, Landeck captured both the look and the mood of an American city in the 1930s. The lighted interiors in Pop's Tavern seem to draw people in from the dark, empty streets.

- Interiors VI: SoundingsBy Peter MiltonLocated in New York, NYContemporary artist Peter Milton created this etching and engraving entitled "Interiors VI: Soundings" in 1989. The printed image size is 29 7/8 x 23 13/16 and paper size is 36 x 29 inches. This impression is signed, dated, and titled in pencil and inscribed “93/175” – the 93 impression of 175. “I do love to draw. I feel that I am being granted membership in the Brotherhood of Merlin, conjuring forth some apparition. As a drawing develops, I sense a vague presence coming more and more into focus, something in a white fog emerging and becoming increasingly palpable.” – P. Milton, “The primacy of touch. The Drawings of Peter Milton” “Working in layers, Milton begins with drawings based on people and places, with nods to Western art history and culture. He is a master of the appropriated image, a term that may conjure Andy Warhol and his Pop Art comrades. But Milton steps further back in history, avoiding the Pop sense of cool advertising and popular culture references. Instead, a broader cultural past is tapped through historical photographs of key players, architecture, and locales, which he reinvents by hand. He adds content drawn from his life as an avid reader – always with multiple possible interpretations – thus incorporating deeper meaning in his cinematic worlds. Elements of Greek mythology, classical music, art history, and history coalesce in his images, which embrace the messiness, sorrow, and elation that is life. One is hard-pressed to imagine a more erudite, skilled, passionate, and cheeky soul." – T. L. Johnson and A. Shafer Peter Milton was born in Pennsylvania in 1930. He studied for two years at the Virginia Military Institute...Category
