Churchill Ettinger Prints and Multiples
American, 1903-1985
Churchill Ettinger was an exceptional artist and an accomplished sportsman in the field. Born on May 10, 1903, in Haworth, New Jersey, he studied at Columbia University, the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League of New York. He also attended the New York School of Industrial Art, where he eventually taught. Ettinger began his art career as a commercial artist, illustrating for leading publications and a variety of advertisers. He drew celebrity figures in the world of art and politics as a staff artist with the New York Sunday World. During the 1940s, he worked as an art director for Pine Publications, a leading publisher of pulp magazines. An avid outdoorsman, Ettinger was commissioned by top sporting magazines to produce covers using his oil paintings. Additionally, Ettinger illustrated Derrydale’s The Happy End in 1939, written by the great American novelist Ben Ames Williams, with nine sketches of fishing and hunting reminiscences. In the early 1950s, Ettinger settled in Weston, Vermont where he etched and painted outdoor scenes. He attained prominence as a professional artist with subjects of angling, gun dogs in the field, skiing, waterfowl hunting and wildlife. Ettinger’s drypoint prints captured his passion for the outdoors. More than 180 images were produced during his lifetime using the intaglio printmaking process. Most of his early etchings in 1934–52 were published by the Associated American Artists. Churchill Ettinger’s work can be found in the permanent collections of the Boston Public Library, Dartmouth College, Ford Foundation, Fred Jones Junior Museum of Art, Iowa State College, Library of Congress, Museum of Art and Archeology, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, University of Hawaii, Wesleyan University and Yale University. The quintessential artist, Ettinger was producing artwork until his death on March 4, 1984, in Vermont.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born near Falling Waters, West Virginia on a plantation a year after the Civil War, and raised in Baltimore, William Robinson Leigh (1866 - 1955) became one of the foremost painters of the American West. His career spanning some seventy-five years, Leigh created some of the most iconic depictions of the western landscape, admirers referring to him as ‘The Sagebrush Rembrandt’.
The son of impoverished Southern aristocrats, Leigh took his first art training at age 14 from Hugh Newell at the Maryland Institute where he was regarded as the best student in his class. From 1883 to 1895, he studied in Europe, mainly at the Royal Academy in Munich with Ludwig Loefftz. From 1891 to 1896, he painted six cycloramas or murals in the round, a giant German panorama.
In 1896, Leigh began working as a magazine illustrator in New York City for Scribner's and Collier's Weekly Magazine, and he also painted portraits, landscapes, and genre scenes.
Leigh's trips to the Southwest began in 1906 when he made an agreement with William Simpson, Santa Fe Railway advertising manager, to paint the Grand Canyon in exchange for free transportation West. In 1907, he completed his Grand Canyon painting, which led to more commissions and an extensive painting trip through Arizona and New Mexico. These travels inspired him to paint western subjects for the next 50 years, his primary interest being the Hopi and Navajo Indians.
In 1910, he traveled to Wyoming, where he painted in Yellowstone Park and created sketches, many of which he later converted into large canvases such as ‘Lower Falls of the Yellowstone’ (1915) and ‘Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone’ (1911).
In 1926 he traveled to Africa at the invitation of Carl Akeley for the American Museum of Natural History, and from this experience wrote and illustrated 'Frontiers of Enchantment: An Artist's Adventures in Africa'. In 1933, he wrote and illustrated 'The Western Pony'. His adventures were chronicled in a number of popular magazines including Life, the Saturday Evening Post, and Colliers.
For many years, his work was handled exclusively in New York by Grand Central Art Galleries at the Biltmore Hotel. In 1953 Leigh was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member, becoming a full Academician in 1955.
In March 1999, the Historical Center of Cody, Wyoming, held an exhibition of his field sketches and finished works depicting his experiences near Cody in the early part of the century. These years, between 1910 and 1921, when he often painted in the Carter Mountain vicinity, were considered pivotal to his artistic development and his devotion to the western landscape.
Leigh's work is held in many museum collections of American western art...
