Item Description
Image is 10 x 18 and there some damage in right top corner (paper burn). In a blond maple frame. Edward Timothy Hurley (1869 - 1950) is famous on two fronts. First, his etchings, paintings and illustrations made him a major architectural and landscape artist, particularly those dealing with his native city of Cincinnati. Secondly, as the leading artist of Rookwood Pottery, his name is forever prominent in the annals of American art pottery. Hurley first studied at the Cincinnati Art Academy, under Frank Duveneck. His first works were mainly in the field of art pottery and in 1904 was awarded with the Gold Medal for originality in art workmanship at the St. Louis World's Fair. E. T. Hurley's first etchings were published shortly after the end of the First World War (1918). During the following twenty years his finely decorative etchings and illustrations of Cincinnati led to the publication of no less than seven books upon that city. Most of his original Cincinnati etchings, including this example, were published in small, signed editions of twenty-five impressions. These famous etchings stand as both important historical and artistic expressions of this major American city. Hurley was a full member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the Crafters Company of Cincinnati and the Richmond Art Association. His etchings are now included in the permanent collections of the Detroit Art Institute, the Art Association of Indianapolis, the Cincinnati Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, the Chicago Art Institute, the Library of Congress, Washington, DC, and the British Museum, in London.
