LUIGI KASIMIR (1881 - 1962)Noted printmaker Luigi Kasimir, the son and grandson of painters, was born at Ptuj, Slovenia, then a part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. He attended the Vienna Academy of Art and studied under Wilhelm Unger, who introduced him to the technique of the hand-colored etching. Kasimir was one of the earliest practitioners of color etching creating separate plates for each color and employing as many as six different plates for each color in a given work in a painstaking process of hand registration. While Kasimir is justly famous for his etchings, he also produced oils and pastels. His work depicted landscapes, monuments, street scenes, and tourist landmarks throughout Europe and North America. His etchings are held in the collections of numerous galleries and museums including The National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Israel Museum, Jerusalem; and the Frye Art Museum, Seattle. He died at Grinzing, a suburb of Vienna.
