Herman Armour Webster: A leading American
architectural etcher of the early twentieth century, Herman Webster studied
painting techniques under Jean Paul Laurens in Paris. Upon viewing the etchings
of Charles Meryon at the Bibliotheque Nationale, however, he resolved to
become an etcher. Webster's first etchings were created in France in 1904.
During the following six years he developed a strong international reputation
for his etched views of Paris, Marseilles, Rouen, Bruges and Frankfort.
Herman Webster was a full member of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers,
London, the Societe National des Beaux Arts, Paris, and of the National
Academy of Design, New York. He was also awarded the prestigious Chevalier
de la Legion d'Honneur by the French government in 1927. |

Herman Webster returned to America in 1910 and immediately became
absorbed by the new and dominant architecture of the sky-scraper. For the
following twenty years he created many memorable views of streets and buildings
in New York, Philadelphia and Boston. Today his fine etchings are included
in such major collections as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the
Library of Congress, Washington, the Art Institute of Chicago, the British
Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and the Fogg Museum of
Art, Cambridge. |
