ARMIN LANDECK, American (1905 - 1984)
Born in 1905 in Wisconsin, Armin Landeck received his Bachelor of Architecture from Columbia University in 1927. That same year, Landeck pulled his first print from his recently acquired secondhand press. Also in 1927, he married. After traveling Europe on his honeymoon, he and his bride returned to New York. Unable to find a job as an architect, they moved to Connecticut. Landeck committed the rest of his life to printmaking. In 1931 he accepted a teaching position at Brearly, a private school in New York City. He taught at Brearly until 1958.
Much of Landeck’s imagery consisted of lonely scenes of New York buildings and rooftops. In Landeck’s 1935 drypoint, “Studio Interior No. 1’, he conveys the interior of his first studio in Cornwall, Connecticut. In the 40’s, Landeck met Stanley William Hayter. At Hayter’s Atelier 17, Landeck learned to use the burin, and printed his first engraving.
Here in Lindquist’s interpretation of “Landeck Sharpening a Burin”, it would seem Lindquist reimagines Landeck in his Cornwall studio, practicing sharpening a burin, as Hayter might have taught him.
Armin Landeck died at his farm in Litchfield, Connecticut in December of 1984.
