Note: | John Winkler 'John W. Winkler': One of the finest American etchers of the early twentieth century, J. W. Winkler was born in Austria but settled in California early in his life. John Winkler studied under Frank van Sloun at the California Institute of Arts and published his first original etching in 1915. During the following eight years he established a large national reputation for his etchings, the great majority being depictions of San Francisco and its environs. By 1923 he had created 88 etchings, which were often compared to the work of Whistler, particularly the Whistler etchings found in the 'French Set' and 'Thames Set'. Like Whistler, John Winkler had the ability to capture life and movement with the utmost simplicity. One John Winkler scholar wrote,

In 1923, John Winkler moved to Paris and resided in that city until 1930. During this time the artist produced etchings of Paris streets and its occupants as well as landscape views of Normandy and other provinces. Ferme, Normandie (Farm, Normandy) was commissioned by the Paris art journal, Gazette des Beaux-Arts, in 1924. It is a fine example of John Winkler's masterful use of line and space. | |
Returning to the United States, John Winkler became a full member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the Brooklyn Society of Etchers and the American Society of Illustrators. In 1936, John Winkler was admitted into the prestigious National Academy of Design. Examples of Winkler's original etchings are included in the collections of the Library of Congress, Washington DC, the Musee du Luxembourg and the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, the Chicago Art Institute, Boston Public Library, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the San Diego Museum of Art and the New York Public Library. An extensive collection of John Winkler's etchings and engravings is housed at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. | |
Gazette des Beaux-Arts: The revival of etching as a prominent form of art first took place in France in the mid nineteenth century. Sparked by the Paris etchings of Charles Meryon, French artists elevated etching to a creative medium of art as vital as painting or sculpture. Such an outburst of artistic energy in this field had not been seen since the days of Rembrandt and other seventeenth century Dutch master etchers. | |
At the vanguard of this wave was the Paris based Gazette des Beaux-Arts. Beginning with its initial publication in 1859, the Gazette regularly commissioned the greatest etchers of the day to supply original graphic art for publication. Nineteenth century editions included original etchings by Daubigny, Goya, Meryon, Whistler, Seymour Haden, Max Liebermann, Albert Besnard and others. And from the beginning of the twentieth century until it ceased publication in 1930, such fine international artists as J. W. Winkler, John Sloan and Donald Shaw MacLaughlan contributed works of art. With artists such as these it's easy to understand why etchings from the Gazette have long been sought after. | |
