Eugene Paul Metour

Eugene Paul Metour - Southern Pines

Southern Pines

Eugene Paul Metour's "Southern Pines", is an original etching created by the American artist in 1923 . This original impression is printed upon thick wove paper as published by The Print Connoisseur and is signed in pencil by the artist.

"He (Eugene Paul Metour) has that sense of the beautiful which is becoming as rare among artists as is the sense of melody among musicians ... One discovers, further, feeling for line and pattern and the ability to grasp and project those elusive, intangible elements that determine the Spirit of the Place -- those curious indefinable qualities that give localities distinguishing characteristics far more compelling than those bestowed by mere physical manifestation." *

 
Title: Southern Pines
Artist: Metour, Eugene Paul (Brittany, France, 1880 - Williamstown, MA, 1928)
Date: 1923
Medium: Original Etching
Publisher: The Print Connoisseur, New York
Note: Eugene Paul Metour: A Franco American etcher, illustrator, architect and writer, Eugene Paul Metour was born in Brittany and was raised in France's North African colonies. His formal education was in the discipline of architecture and he was a graduate of London's Polytechnic School. After serving one year with the French Foreign Legion Metour moved to the United States in 1903. He first gained public attention in 1909 with the publication of a novel, In the Wake of the Green Banner, which dealt with French military affairs in Algeria and Morocco. Other books authored by Eugene Paul Metour include, The North African element in contemporary French Literature (1917), The art of the catacombs and the begining of Christian painting (1924), The dancer and the friar: a balad in Prose (1926).
  Metour's first published etching dates from 1916. At that time he was teaching art at Ohio State University. A year later, however, he accepted a similar position at the Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland. Intrigued by Maryland's cities and landscapes he produced over forty original etchings (including this original example) on these subjects during the following six years. Metour then moved to Williamstown, Massachusetts, and taught at Williams College.
  During the 1920's the art of Eugene Paul Metour was widely exhibited in such cities as Baltimore, Washington, New York and Boston. His etched art is included in major public collections such as the Library of Congress, Washington, D. C.
  The Print Connoisseur published illustrated articles on contemporary etchers and engravers on a quarterly basis from January, 1920 to December, 1931. A minimum of one original print was commissioned for each issue and the more expensive, limited editions of 100 each contained a signed impression in pencil by the artist. During its decade of publishing such major artists as George Elbert Burr, Frank Benson, Lynd Ward, Harry Cimino, J. W. Winkler, Preissig, Alan Lewis, Eugene Paul Metour and J. J. Lankes contributed original etchings, wood engravings and woodcuts. This New York based publication was thus responsible for commissioning some of the finest original art of early twentieth century America. Southern Pines was published in July of 1923 in a limited edition of 100 artist signed impressions
