Description: Original Woodcutby Hendrik Glintenkamp1931 An atmospheric winter scene of a small cluster of snow-covered houses nestled in a wooded valley. Signed in pencil lower right and numbered 12/16 in lower left corner--in other words, a very small edition. Glintenkamp's monogram is within the plate in the lower right corner alongside the number XXXI. Printed on an unevenly cut sheet of thin paper with very faint toning. Taped to backing board along top edge of sheet. Plate: 4 x 5 1/2 inches. Hendrik Glintenkamp (1887-1946) was a painter, sculptor, printmaker, illustrator, and teacher. He studied at the National Academy of Design in New York between 1903 and 1906, and in 1908 he was enrolled in the New York School of Art where his teachers included Robert Henri and John Sloan. Glintenkamp's work was included in the 1910 Exhibition of Independent Artists, organized by Robert Henri, John Sloan, and Arthur B. Davies, and his works were exhibited at the groundbreaking 1913 Armory Show. He taught for five years at the Hoboken Art Club (1912-1917), and during this time he contributed to the humanitarian publication The Masses, along with George Bellows, Stuart Davis and John Sloan. In 1917, Glintenkamp moved to Mexico to avoid the draft and remained there for almost a decade. From Mexico he explored England, Europe and Scandinavia. He returned to the United States, settling in New York City in 1934 and joined the ranks of artists working under the New York City WPA Art Project. He taught at the New York School of Fine and Industrial Art and the John Reed Club School of Art. Glintenkamp's woodcuts were featured in Fifty Prints of the Year in 1929, 1930, and 1931, and illustrated a number of books. His own book of woodcut illustrations, A Wanderer in Woodcuts, was published by Farrar and Rinehart, New York City in 1932. He was a member of the American Artists Congress and his works are included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
