Armin Landeck
Born in Crandon, Wisconsin in 1905, Armin Landeck studied at Columbia University where he received a Bachelor's degree in Architecture. Soon after, he traveled around Europe and created his first large body of prints. With artist and friend Martin Lewis and the help of lithographer George Miller, Landeck opened the School for Printmakers in 1934. The school eventually closed down in early 1935 due to the Great Depression.
One artist that would leave an impression upon his later work was Stanley Hayter, with whom he studied in the early 1940's.
