About the Item

Beautiful New York subject etching by noted Austrian artist Robert Kasimir (1914-2002). The color etching with aquatint on paper measures 15 3/4"h x 11 3/4"w. It presents in a 2 ply museum mat measuring 24 x 20 and is unframed. The original print is signed in pencil lower center and titled in pencil lower left, “Washington Arch” - New York City. The work is in excellent condition. Born in Vienna in 1914, Robert Kasimir began drawing at age 4, taught by his grandfather Alois. He made his first etching at age 5. He graduated from Vienna schools and attended the Technological College (he first wanted to become an architect) before switching to the Academy for Graphic Art, where he studied under Professor Hans Frank, a painter and graphic artist. Robert inherited the talent of his famous parents. His technique and subject matter are quite similar to those of his father. In 1936 he came to the United States for a year of study at the Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia. During that year he made drawings for his American etchings, including the Capitol in Washington, Yale University, Broad Street, New York, and the University of California in Berkeley. He completed the actual etchings after his return to Vienna. In 1961 Robert opened his own printing shop in Vienna, where he printed his own etchings and those of Luigi and Tanna. Robert toured the eastern United States in the summer of 1968, and made some 10 drawings of Yale, Harvard, and in New York City. Several of these have been published as etchings. In the summers of 1973, 1976, and 1981, Robert returned to the U.S. again and had several successful shows in the Midwest and West. Robert also made several drawings and etchings of California scenes and continuously added new ones. Robert died in 2002. Today, his etchings are housed in many great print collections, including the New York Public Library and many European museums.
