ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born in Czechoslovakia in 1884, Jan C. Vondrous moved with his family to the United States at age nine. He studied etching at the National Academy of Design in New York, and at the painting studio of George Willoughby Maynard, and then graduated from the James David Smillie Stitching School. His first etchings, published during the First World War, focused principally on architectural views of New York City and the surrounding area. After the war, Vondrous spent much of the following decade traveling Europe to etch the urban landscapes of major European cities, particularly Bruges and Venice.
By 1926 Jan Vondrous had again returned to his native Czechoslovakia to settle permanently in Prague. During his remaining years, he continued to etch and paint the people and architecture of his beloved city.
Vondrous was a member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the Print Makers' Society of California, and the Hollar Society of Prague. He received many awards for printmaking including, 1st place Baldwin Prize National Academy of Design, New York, 1901; 1st Hallgarten Prize for composition, 1903; Bronze Award for Etching, Panama - Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, 1915; Honorable Mention of Helen Foster Barnett Prize, 3rd Annual Exhibition of the Brooklyn Society of Etchers, 1918; Logan Prize, Chicago Society of Etchers, 1917, 1918, 1919; Honors at the Sesqui–Centennial International Exposition, Philadelphia, 1926.
Examples of Vondrous' etchings are in the following museum collections: Art Institute of Chicago, Congressional Library (Washington, DC), The Modern Gallery of Prague (Prague), New York Public Library, Kupferstich Kabinett (Berlin), Smithsonian American Art Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum (London), British Museum (London).
