Description
Title: Chinese Card Players.
Artist: John W. Winkler (1890-1979)
Etching, 1936.
Edition 40.
Signed in pencil.
Image size 10 5/8 x 6 7/8" (27 x 17.5 cm).
One of the finest American etchers of the early twentieth century, John William Joseph Winkler was born in Vienna, Austria. He immigrated to the United States around the age of sixteen and ultimately settled in San Francisco around 1911. 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, Winkler had the ability to capture life and movement with the utmost simplicity.
