Impressions of this work are in the permanent collections of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and the Library of Congress. ABOUT THE ARTIST Architect and printmaker, Louis Conrad Rosenberg (1890-1983) was born in Portland, Oregon. The recipient of a scholarship awarded by the Architectural Club of Portland, Rosenberg attended The Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Graduating in 1914, he was granted a traveling fellowship in architecture and after the war he traveled throughout England, Europe, the Near East, and Northern Africa, creating thousands of sketches. He began his first experiments in etching while studying at the American Academy in Rome, in 1921, and was given an exhibition there. His prints came to the attention of Muirhead Bone who looked him up during a visit to New York and suggested that he pursue etching more seriously. Soon after that meeting, Rosenberg entered the school of engraving at the Royal College of Art in London, making 20 distinguished plates in a year and launching his career as a printmaker. On his return to the United States, he took a teaching position in architectural design at the University of Oregon. Etching for the American Etchers Series, he was commissioned to render the existing sites, new structures, and demolitions of the Cleveland Railroad Terminal. In 1930 he undertook a similar commission for the Cincinnati Union Terminal that produced some of his finest work. In 1946 he joined the New York architectural firm of Sawyer and York and remained there until retiring. Widely respected for his impeccable drypoint technique, flawless composition, and sensitive architectural renderings, Rosenberg was the recipient of many medals and awards. He was an emeritus member of the American Institute of Design and senior fellow in the Royal Society of Painters, Etchers and Engravers. Rosenberg was also a member of the Brooklyn Society of Etchers, Chicago Society of Etchers, Philadelphia Society of Etchers and Engravers Associates, and the Chelsea Arts Club, London. He received a silver medal from the Print Makers Society of California, 1924; Frank G. Logan Medal at the International Exhibition, Chicago Society of Etchers, 1925; Frank G. Logan Prize and Medal, at the International Exhibition, Chicago Society of Etchers, 1927; and Brooklyn Society of Etchers Prize, 1926. Rosenberg’s work is represented in the permanent collections of the United States National Museum, Library of Congress, New York Public Library, Cleveland Museum of Art, The British Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum and the Royal Academy of Arts, Stockholm.

  • New York, Park Avenue
    By Luigi Kasimir
    Located in San Francisco, CA
    This artwork titled "New York, Park Ave" c.1930 is an color etching by Austrian artist Luigi Kasimir 1881-1962. It is estate hand signed in pencil at the lower center. The plate mark (image) size is 17 x 10.5 inches, framed is 26 x 18.35 inches. It is custom framed in a wooden gold frame, with light greenish creme color fabric matting. It is in excellent condition. Luigi Kasimir was born in 1881 at Pettau, today Ptuj, Slovenia, then a part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. He inherited his talent from his ancestors; his grandfather was a painter and a poet, and his father an officer in the Habsburg army, who later became a professional painter. Kasimir attended the Vienna Academy of Art where he studied under Wilhelm Unger, who introduced him to the technique of the coloured etching, and also to his future wife, the artist Tanna Hoernes.[1] He died in 1962 in Grinzing, a suburb of Vienna.Kasimir was among the first to develop the technique of the coloured etching. Before this, prints were usually hand-coloured with the colour being applied in a casual, haphazard manner. Kasimir would first create a sketch usually in pastel, he then transferred the design on as many as four to six plates, printing one after the other and applying the colour on the plate, all done by hand. Kasimir is mainly famous for his etchings, but he also produced some oil painting, as well as some pastels. One of his favourite genres was the landscape, or veduta. He demonstrated a predisposition street scenes, and tourist landmarks. He depicted places from all over Europe, mainly Italy, Austria, and Germany. He also travelled to the United States to do a series of etchings of famous sights ranging from urban landmarks such as New York City skyscrapers, to natural wonders like Yosemite Valley. Luigi Kasimir’s etchings...
