Samuel Chamberlain: One of America's finest twentieth
century architectural artists, Samuel Chamberlain studied architecture
at the University of Washington (1913) and at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (1914). When the United States entered the First World War
Chamberlain left M.I.T. to join the American Field Service Ambulance Corps
in France. He was so impressed with the architecture of the old world
that he stayed in Europe to sketch after the end of the war in 1918. In
this regard, Samuel Chamberlain joined other famous Americans who dedicated much
of their art to European architectural scenes, such as Whistler, Pennell
and John Taylor Arms. |
|
Although he returned to the United States frequently to
both teach and create art there, much of Samuel Chamberlain's time during the
following two decades was spent in the countries where he drew his strongest
inspiration; France, Spain and Italy. His first lithograph was created
in 1923 and in the following year he produced his first of many fine drypoint
engravings. As well, Samuel Chamberlain was both the author and illustrator of
a number of architectural books, such as, Sketches of Northern Spanish
Architecture (1924), Domestic Architecture in Rural France (1926) and
Tudor Homes of England (1928). He is even credited with introducing gourmet
French dining to the United States with his widely read cookbook, Clementine
in the Kitchen. |

Samuel Chamberlain was a full member of the Chicago Society
of Etchers. His original engravings and lithographs are included in many
