(American, 1881 - 1940)
A highly regarded American etcher, painter and illustrator of the early 20th century, Horter was known throughout the United States for his fine architectural views and city scenes. During his career, Horter etched memorable views of almost all the major American cities (including New Orleans) as well as some European scenes in Spain and France. Although he signed his original etchings he did not usually number them. Most, however, were published in editions of one hundred or less.
Earl Horter was also a major collector of early 20th century modern art. He was a close friend of Philadelphia's Dr. Albert Barnes (1872-1951), one of America's great collectors of modern art and the founder of the Barnes Foundation. Horter's collection included contemporary paintings and sculptors by Picasso, Matisse, Duchamp and many others and was recently the subject of a retrospective exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Horter was a full member of the American Society of Illustrators (1910) and the Brooklyn Society of Etchers. Some of the major awards he received include the 1915 Silver Medal from the Pan Pacific Exposition, San Francisco, and the International Water Color Award, Chicago.
