DANIEL GARBER The Heron.
Etching, 1923. 153x173 mm; 6x7 inches, full margins. Signed, counter signed, titled, dated "5/22/24" and inscribed "#22" in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression of this scarce etching.
Garber (1880-1958) was born in Indiana and studied at the Cincinnati Art Academy during the late 1890s where he was inspired by the work of Frank Duveneck (though Duveneck was not an official member of the faculty until 1900). In 1899, he enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, leaving there in 1905 for a 2 year tour through Europe to study painting in England, France and Italy. On his return to the United States, he and his wife settled in Lumberville, Pennsylvania, where Garber became a major figure in the blossoming New Hope artists colony.
His freely-drawn etching style, which frequently parallels his Impressionist paintings, his bold use of chiaroscuro and his riverside subjects in and around New Hope, are similar to Whistler's etchings from the 1850s/ 1860s.
