About the Item

A 1940s American Modern etching of a dynamic view of the Manhattan skyline by artist Nat Lowell. Signed and titled in pencil, dating circa 1940. Artworks size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/4". Archivally matted to 12" x 12". Nat Lowell: A strongly regarded New York City artist, Nat Lowell was famous for his etched views of Manhattan and its surroundings. Born in Latvia, Lowell came to New York at an early age and studied under Carroll Beckwith and Siddons Mowbray at the Art Students League. His first published etchings date from around 1907. During the following forty years, Lowell concentrated his artistic talents upon the ever changing skyline of the city. Some of his etchings were published by the influential Associated American Artists, New York, who also published original graphic art by such leading individuals as Reginald Marsh, Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton. During his career Nat Lowell was also highly respected in New York as an art lecturer and as a teacher. Collections of his original etchings are included in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the New York Public Library. His etched views provide a most important historical and artistic record of New York during the first half of the twentieth century. Edition: Lowell rarely numbered his original etchings in specific editions. The vast majority, however, were published in editions ranging from 100 to 200 impressions. Source: Art of the print
