Armin Landeck Landscape Prints

American, 1905-1984

Printmaker Armin Landeck was born in Crandon, Wisconsin, and spent his childhood in Oshkosh and in Toledo, Ohio. Before enrolling at Columbia University, he studied for two years at the University of Michigan. In New York he took summer classes at the Art Students League and visited the city's museums and galleries. By the time of his graduation from Columbia in 1927, he had become interested in printmaking and had bought a used press. In 1928 and 1929 he traveled and worked in Europe, seeing the work of the old masters and also modern art, sketching and making etchings wherever he could find an opportunity to use a press. He was greatly interested in the cubist art he saw in Paris, and the angular facets of his early compositions reflect that fascination. Returning to the United States in 1929, he settled on a farm in East Cornwall, Connecticut, but spent a great deal of time in New York City, moving back there in 1935 to teach printmaking. Throughout the 1930s he worked in etching, aquatint, drypoint, and lithography. Study with Stanley William Hayter at the New School for Social Research in New York in the early 1940s led to Landeck's extensive use of the engraving medium, but he continued to work in other etching media as well. In 1953 he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship that permitted him to work in Paris and to travel again through Europe. He retired from teaching in 1958 and moved back to his Connecticut farm, where he died in 1984. Landeck focused on the city in much of his work. As a student at Columbia University, Landeck earned a degree in architecture, and this training is reflected in his careful rendering of buildings and their details. In Pop's Tavern, Landeck captured both the look and the mood of an American city in the 1930s. The lighted interiors in Pop's Tavern seem to draw people in from the dark, empty streets.

His best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in August 1931. Dalí's expansive artistic repertoire included film, sculpture, and photography, in collaboration with a range of artists in a variety of media. Dalí attributed his "love of everything that is gilded and excessive, my passion for luxury and my love of oriental...

Low Country (South Carolina)
By Elizabeth Verner
Located in Middletown, NY
An enchanting Southern landscape by the mother of the Charleston Renaissance. A native of Charleston, South Carolina, and educated under the tutelage of Thomas Anshutz at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, O'Neill Verner was a teacher, a mother, an artist, an ardent preservationist, and a skilled autodidact. Having previously focused on painting, in the early 1920s she found herself deeply moved by printmaking as a media, and especially so by the simple, peaceful themes and tableaus she discovered in Japanese art. She embarked on a effort to teach herself Japanese printmaking techniques, and in the process, produced the charming images of every day life in Charleston and its environs that earned her recognition as a cultural icon in her day, and in more modern times, as the mother of the Charleston Renaissance, which flourished well into the 1930s. In 1923 she opened a studio in Charleston where she focused on documenting the local color and the architecture and landscape that distinguishes Charleston as one of the South's most beautiful cities, all the while applying the gentle and poetic thematic sensibilities of Japanese printmaking. O'Neill Verner soon found herself in high demand when municipalities and institutions throughout the country sought commissions from her to document the beauty of their grounds and historic buildings. She worked as far north as the campuses of Harvard and Princeton, and extensively across the South, including in Savannah, Georgia, where through sweeping commissions she was able to marry her love of southern preservation and art. O'Neill Verner was a lifelong learner, and continued a path of edification that led her to study etching at the Central School of Art in London, to travel extensively through Europe, and to visit Japan in 1937, where she studied sumi (brush and ink) painting. She was a founding member of the Charleston Etchers Club, and the Southern States Art League. Her works are represented in the permanent collections of leading museums across the American south, and in major national institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Boston's Museum of Fine Art, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
