Troy Kinney Prints and Multiples

American, 1871-1938

Troy Sylvanus Kinney was born the son of William and Mary Kinney in Kansas City, Missouri. He attended Yale University, graduating in 1896, and then after a brief time illustrating for newspapers in the Baltimore, Maryland area, he moved to study at the Art Institute of Chicago, where he would later become a full member of the Chicago Board of Etchers. He was an American artist, etcher, and author. He was most notable for his works portraying dance performers, fanciful subjects, and classically styled nudes. He worked with dancers, including Ruth St. Denis, Anna Pavlova, and Sophie Pflanz among others. His artistic works are part of the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, the Library of Congress, and many others. Kinney met and in 1900 married his wife and collaborator Margaret West Kinney (1872–1952). They were premier illustrators of the early 20th century, creating works together under the name The Kinneys, including scores of books, and covers for Harper's Bazaar magazine. Perhaps Kinney's greatest legacy is in his contributions in the area of dance. He co-authored with his wife the books Social Dancing of Today and The Dance: Its Place in Art and Life, for which he traveled throughout the world to study various dance styles. It remains to this day one of the most comprehensive works on the subject. Besides being a member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, Kinney was a member of the Society of American Etchers, and the National Academy of Design. Kinney died near his art studio in Falls Village, Connecticut, leaving his wife and only child, John West Kinney.

Located in New York, NY

This refined etching and drypoint was realized by the esteemed American artist Troy Kinney in the United States circa 1920. The work features two dancing figures- a woman leaning against the male figure behind her, perhaps moments before being hurled into the air or spun in a graceful twirl. She dons a tutu and ballet slippers that are loosely and abstractly rendered against a white background. The gentleman sports a white shirt and black vest. Both of them have a shock of flaxen hair that offers a beautiful tonal complement to the textured muted jade background. With its refined color palate, clean modernist lines, and masterful handling of the medium, this piece would be a winning addition to any interior regardless of the style of interior. Given the artist's importance and placement within esteemed collections (private and institutional), this piece represents a winning acquisition for collectors of first rate modern art as well as exquisite objects. It comes presented in a custom gilded gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition.

Woman at the River- Etching ad Drypoint by A. Doré - Late 1900

By Amandine Doré

Located in Roma, IT

Woman at the River is a beautiful drypoint made by the French painter, illustrator, and writer Amandine Doré in the second half of the 20th century. The state of preservation of the artwork is very good, although the paper has some dark stains that do not affect its reading. This original print shows a very sensual naked woman on a riverbank inside a forest. Amandine Doré (Paris, 1912-2011) is one of the pseudonyms of Odette Amandine Bonne, who signed also as “Aurèa” or “Madame”, according to the type of subject matter of her artworks. Amandine was a French painter, illustrator, and writer. Her production varied from erotic to travel illustrations...

This refined etching and drypoint was realized by the esteemed American artist Troy Kinney in the United States circa 1920. The work features a lone female figure (presumable Doris Niles) in a quintessentially Art Deco dress against a blank background in the midst of dancing, her hands above her head.
