Armin Landeck (1905-1984) Corban's Silo 1937 The drypoint published in an edition of 100 prints is signed by the artist in pencil below the image lower right. Reversing the usual trajectory of starving artists who are forced pursue more conventional professions, Landeck trained as an architect before becoming a largely self-taught printmaker when he couldn't find work as an architect during the Depression. In 1934, he joined Martin Lewis (also represented in this sale) and master lithographer George C. Miller in establishing the School for Printmakers in New York. Although the school survived only a few months, Landeck and Lewis maintained a close friendship. Both were well-known for their atmospheric interpretations of New York. Armin Landeck received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1953, was elected to the National Academy of Design. His work is represented in numerous major museum collections, including the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, and the National Gallery of Art.
