(American, 1905 - 1984)
Wisconsin-born Landeck graduated with a degree in architecture from Columbia University in 1927. While in New York, Landeck studied drawing with George Bridgman at the Art Students League and began making prints. After marriage and travel throughout Europe for a year and a half, Landeck returned to the States in 1929 and taught art at various schools in Connecticut and New York. With George Miller, and close friend Martin Lewis, Landeck operated from 1934-35 the School for Printmakers Studio in NYC where instruction in lithography, etching, drypoint, mezzotint, aquatint and wood engraving was offered. Landeck worked with Stanley William Hayter at Atelier 17 and jurored the monumental "Artistis for Victory, Inc." exhibits in 1942 and 1943 (the latter was the first American print exhibit to open simultaneously in twenty-six museums and galleries). Landeck is best known for his stark drypoints and engravings of cityscapes. He was a full Academician of the National Academy of Design, and a member of the Institute of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, the Society of American Etchers and the Society of American Graphic Artists. He also received a Guggenheim Fellowship for work in Europe.
