Description

Armin Landeck, an American realist whose graphic career spanned more than half of the twentieth century, used to be trained as an architect but devoted his life to etching, creating his first print in 1927.

A brief period of study under Stanley William Hayter at Atelier 17 in New York City introduced Landeck to copper engraving, establishing his subsequent fascination with the burin and all it will possibly do. For the remainder of the l940s Landeck frequently used both drypoint and engraving at the same plate, but after 1950 he produced only copper engravings aside from three wood engravings in 1958.

This revised edition of a book first published in 1977 has been completely rewritten and expanded to include prints not known when the first edition used to be published—plus the prints made by the artist from 1977 till his death in 1984. The first edition contained 127 prints and states; 164 prints and states are actually pictured and described.

An essential addition to this book outlines Landeck’s participation in many national print exhibitions such as those at the Library of Congress and the Society of American Etchers. Reflecting the growing appreciation of Landeck’s work, the list of public institutions that have Landeck prints in their permanent collections has grown from the first edition’s thirty-one to this edition’s ninety-six. A new section entitled “Notes at the Prints” gives in-depth information on many Landeck prints. An extensive bibliography is any other feature of this second edition.
