Note: |
Alonzo C. Webb: A fine American etcher, architect,
painter and illustrator Alonzo C. Webb studied art at the Art Institute
of Chicago and at the Art Students League of New York. In the First World
War he served with the American Engineering Force in France, first as a
sergeant and then as a commissioned second lieutenant. After the war in
1988 he concluded his education at the A.E.F. Art Training Center in Bellevue,
France. |
|
During the 1920's and 1930's Alonzo Webb lived and worked
in both France (Montmartre) and in the United States. He etched many great
architectural images of French and Italian cities and American centers such
as New York, Chicago and Pittsburgh. Many of A. C. Webb's European views (including
this original example) were published and exhibited by the Marcel Guiot,
Gallery, Paris. |
|
Alonzo C. Webb was a full member of the American Art Association
of Paris and the Beaux Arts Architects. Today his original etchings are
included in the collections of the Government of France, the City of Paris,
the Bibliotheque Nacionale, Paris, the Chicago Art Institute and the New
York Public Library. |

by Alonzo Webb in 1928 and published by Marcel Guiot in a limited edition of one
hundred signed and numbered impressions. It was also exhibited at the Marcel
Guiot Gallery, Paris, during that year. With its brilliant use of both deeply
and lightly etched lines it is a fine example of how the artist rendered
atmospheric effects and perspective to a very accomplished level. |
