Title: Study of an Apostle No. 1
Artist: Heintzelman, Arthur William 'Arthur Heintzelman' (Newark, New Jersey, 1891 - Boston, New York, 1965)
Date: 1935
Medium: Original Etching and Drypoint
Note: Arthur William Heintzelman 'Arthur Heintzelman': A highly esteemed American etcher of the early twentieth century, Arthur William Heintzelman first studied at the Rhode Island School of Design. He then went to Europe for several years and completed his education in Holland, France, Belgium, Spain, England and Scotland. Upon returning to the United States, Heintzelman accepted the position of Head of the Fine Arts Department at the Detroit School of Design for a period of four years. Arthur Heintzelman created his first original etching in 1915. During the following three years he created more than fifty more, but many were to his dissatisfaction and he often destroyed his plates after only two or three impressions.
  After the conclusion of World War One, Arthur Heintzelman returned to Paris on a permanent basis. It was from this point on that his greatest etchings and drypoint engravings were made. Within several years his art was featured in major exhibitions throughout the United States, England and France. Arthur Heintzelman was a full member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the California Society of Etchers, the American Federation of Arts, the Societe Gravure Originale en Noir and the Associee Societe Nationale des Beaux Arts, in Paris. His original etchings are included in such major museums as the Metropolitan Museum, NY, the Chicago Art Institute, the Los Angeles County Museum, the Bilbliotheque Nationale, Paris, and the Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Museum, London.
  Arthur William Heintzelman's fame rested almost entirely upon his figure studies and his exquisite portraits. He was equally adept at both miniature etchings and larger studies and devoted most of his energies to these two mediums. One contemporary author wrote, " Arthur W. Heintzelman is one of the few American etchers well known to the British public, but he is even better known in France, and has spent several years in the French capital. There is an unashamed sentiment about Arthur Heintzelman's work which distinguishes it from the shamefaced reserve of some of his contemporaries. He delights in such subjects as a mother and child, and some of his best etchings depict with great tenderness the lines and furrows of old age." * (James Laver, A History of British and American Etching, London, Ernest Benn Limited, 1929, p. 145).
  Study of an Apostle is a superb example of Arthur Heintzelman's talents as a miniature etcher and engraver. The art of the miniature is one of the most demanding of all mediums and during his career Heintzelman created at least thirty such outstanding etchings. This etching, along with a companion portrayal, was commissioned by the Miniature Print Society, London, in 1935. It is also referred to as, Study of an Apostle, No. 1. It was printed in a limited edition of 100 by the Society and was featured as a major work of miniature art in "The Print Collector's Quarterly" for 1935.

American Art of the Depression Era (c. 1930 - c. 1945)
The American Art of the Depression Era directory contains a listing of original works of art from the Depression decade of the 1930’s and into the early 1940’s created by American artists. These pages also include information about the art publishers, associations, clubs, groups and societies located in major cities throughout the United States, such as Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Buffalo, Wichita, Philadelphia, Rochester, San Francisco, Washington D.C. and elsewhere. Many of these organizations provided an opportunity for American artists to work and create original works of art during the Great Depression. A few of the art associations and clubs active during this period that are discussed in this directory include the American Artists Group, the Associated American Artists, New York, the Buffalo Print Club, the Chicago Society of Etchers, the Lone Star Printmakers, the Prairie Print Makers, the Print Club of Cleveland, the Print Club of Philadelphia, the Print Club of Rochester, the Society of American Etchers, the Indiana Society of Printmakers, the Society of Washington D.C. Artists and the Syracuse Print Club.
01.- American Art of the Depression Era - Page 1 (Artist Index (A to E)

American Art of the Depression Era dating from 1930 to 1945 (Art of The Print / www.artoftheprint.com - Artist Index: A to E): The following four pages contain a listing of original American etchings, lithographs woodcuts, serigraphs, watercolors, drawings, linocuts and wood engravings from the Depression decade of the 1930’s and into the early 1940’s. Despite the dire economic times publishers of original prints continued to survive and successfully raise revenue for the artists as well as making original art affordable during the Great Depression years.

Listed on the first page of the 'American Art of the Depression Era' directory are over fifty original works of art created by American artists such as, George Elbert Burr, his etchings, Little Canyon, Arizona and Morraine Park were both commissioned by The Print Connoisseur, while his Evening, Arizona was published by The Brooklyn Society of Etchers. Also, works such as, Kenneth Ballantyne's original linocut, Wood Nymphs appeared in The Colophon in New York in 1931. George Elmer Browne’s The Fishing Fleet and Adolf Dehn’s Threshing Near Kilkenny published by the Associated American Artists (A.A.A.), are other outstanding examples of early prints from this decade.

02.- American Art of the Depression Era - Page 2 (Artist Index (F to J)

American Art of the Depression Era dating from 1930 to 1945 (Art of The Print / www.artoftheprint.com - Artist Index: F to J): The second page of this directory also contains a list of over fifty original works of art created during the Great Depression years by American artists. One of the more interesting aspects of art of the Depression is how seldom the actual misery and privation of the decade is depicted. On this page, for example, only Hugo Gellert’s original lithograph, Primary Accumulation, protests the contemporary state of affairs. The visual arts (including films) set out to divert and entertain. Perhaps for artists an almost sure recipe for failure would have been to remind the average man of his sorry condition.

On the contrary most areas of the entertainment industries thrived. The art of Kenneth Hartwell is an excellent example. His lithographs of circus acrobats, jugglers and clowns and of the music, dancing and comedy of the Burlesque shows are worlds into themselves. Gazing at his imagery the viewer is granted a temporary reprieve from the real world.

03.- American Art of the Depression Era - Page 3 (Artist Index (K to P)

American Art of the Depression Era dating from 1930 to 1945 (Art of The Print / www.artoftheprint.com - Artist Index: K to P): Even in a Depression the sense of a continuation of normal activities persists. In Joseph Margulies, New England Granny the subject does exactly what grannies do best as she contentedly sits in her rocker, sewing. Philip Parsons depicts a joyful family reunion in Home for Christmas and Henry Pitz depicts the dignity of work in his monumental art deco style in both Maine Fisherman and Man Against the Sky.

Purely by alphabetical accident, page 3 also contains two of my favorite night scenes: Alan Lewis’ delightful color woodcut, Swinging the Gate and Martin Lewis’ renowned Night in New York. This famous etching was published by the Chicago Society of Etchers in 1932.

04.- American Art of the Depression Era - Page 4 (Artist Index (R to Z)

American Art of the Depression Era dating from 1930 to 1945 (Art of The Print / www.artoftheprint.com - Artist Index: R to Z): Like the previous three pages, page four of this directory provides a full variety of Depression era themes and techniques. Stark realities of the times are provided by W. P. Robinson (Abandoned Farm) and Isadore Weiner (Gardening). In contrast are pieces like John W. Winkler’s playful landscape, Rae Lakes, California and the fine animal studies by Clarence Zuelch.

Two magnificent drypoints by Albert Sterner -- Meditation and The Promised Land – will also be found listed on that page. In particular, The Promised Land seems like a potent symbol of man’s journey through the decade of the Great Depression. In total, there are over two hundred works of original art created by American artists from the Depression decade of the 1930’s and into the early 1940’s listed in the 'American Art of the Depression' directory.
