Edward Timothy Hurley An important American painter, printmaker
and illustrator Edward Timothy Hurley 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. |
|
Edward 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. |
