About the Item

7th Avenue Canyon Etching, 1927 Signed and titled in pencil by the artist (see photo) Depicts what was then referred to s the Garment Disctrict in New York City. References And Exhibitions: Schutz #502 Condition: Excellent Image/Plate size: 13 1/2 x 10 inches Sheet size: 17 5/8 x 12 1/8 inches Provenance: Estate of the Artist Anton Schutz (1894 - 1977) In America architectural art gained its finest era during the first three decades of the twentieth century. Nowhere had the world witnessed such an explosion of building and construction than in the modern American city, most particularly, New York. Buildings and bridges rapidly rose to astounding heights and cityscapes appeared to grow on an almost daily basis. This was a new landscape and a new world and American artists embraced it. The first great artist to delineate the modern cityscape was Joseph Pennell (1860-1926). This influential colleague of Whistler created over one hundred etchings and lithographs of New York City from 1904 to 1924. During the final decade of his life, Pennell also taught at the Art Students’ League of New York. Among his many great students was a German immigrant, Anton Schutz. Anton Schutz emigrated to New York from Germany at the end of World War One (1918). Already an accomplished artist at this time, Schutz had studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich where he was instructed in painting by Groeber and in etching by Peter von Halm. Equally important, Schutz received a degree from Munich’s Technical University in the field of architecture. Anton Schutz completed his artistic education under the guidance of Pennell in New York in 1922. During the 1920’s and 1930’s, Anton Schutz etched many important city views of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and his hometown of New York. He also traveled to Berlin, Paris and London and created fine etchings of these cities. His earlier technical training blended with his obvious artistic gifts to make him one of the finest architectural etchers from this important era. Anton Schutz was a full member of the American Federation of Arts, the Brooklyn Society of Etchers and of the Chicago Society of Etchers. Representative collections of his etchings are now included in the holdings of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, the Library of Congress, Washington, DC, and the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris.
