ABOUT THE ARTIST Etcher, painter, and architect, Anton Schutz was born in Germany in 1894. He studied at the University of Munich, earning a double degree in mechanical engineering and architecture. His interests then turned to art, and he attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. After completing his artistic studies, Schutz came to the United States in 1924, where he met Joseph Pennell. He assisted Pennell in his classes at the Art Students League, New York, and became his professional associate. Schutz was commissioned by The New York Times to make etchings of New York and other American cities. He completed a series of illustrations for the magazine section, traveling as far west as San Francisco. Schutz then traveled to Japan, Russia, and China in 1928 and 1929, creating etchings published by The New York Times and the New York Herald Tribune. The United States Chamber of Commerce commissioned him to create a series of twelve etchings on American cities, later reproduced in Nation’s Business Magazine. Other of his etchings featuring European and American cities were included in publications of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Schutz also served as the president of the New York Graphic Society and the Louis Icart Society. The works of Anton Schutz are represented in numerous museum collections, including the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, the Brooklyn Museum, the Chicago Art Institute, the Cleveland Museum of Arts, the British Museum, the Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris, and the Uffizi Galleries in Florence.

ABOUT THE ARTIST “John Taylor Arms will live on and on and future generations centuries from now will marvel at his work... . As a friend and as a man, he fully matched his superb work.” —John Winkler, printmaker Born in Washington, D.C. in 1887, John Taylor Arms attended the Lawrenceville School and began the study of law at Princeton University. In 1907, he transferred to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and took up the study of architecture. Arms evolved his unique drafting style, with its highly realistic, precise detail and exquisitely rendered effects of light, from his experience and practice as an architectural student. He graduated in 1911 and completed a master’s degree the following year. He then worked as a draftsman with the well-known Carrere and Hastings Company in New York. In 1913 Arms was given a hobbyist’s etching set, and he began to dabble with copperplate and acid. In 1915, after copying a handful of prints by Jongkind and other Etching Revivalists, Arms created his first original etching. His early experiments were picturesque views of European villages, reflecting the influence of Whistler. He inked and printed several of these plates in color in the manner of Charles Mielatz...
