About the Artist: Arthur William Heintzelman - painter, etcher, copyist, teacher, and museum curator - was born on November 22, 1891 in Newark, NJ and died on April 4, 1965 in Rockport, MA. In his early work, a desire to document the common person is clear. Old men and woman, peasants and paupers with weathered features, were later replaced by his favorite subject matter - children. In addition to being a successful artist, Heintzelman held such positions as Keeper of Prints at the Boston Public Library and head of the Fine Arts department of the Rhode Island School of Design. He was published in Fine Prints of the Year from1923 to 1939, and Fifty Prints of the Year in 1934.

Heintzelman resided and worked in various places such as Marblehead, MA; Boston; New York City; and Rockport, MA. In 1929 two of his listed addresses were: care of Frederick Keppel & Co., 16 East 57th Street in New York City; and 20-22 Route de la Croix, Le Vesinet (S&O), France.

Raised in Providence, RI, Heintzelman received his early art training at the Rhode Island School of Design. He also studied in Holland, France, Belgium, Spain, England, and Scotland. He was the author of "More Books," the Boston Public Library; exhibition catalogs, art periodicals, and special articles on graphic artists. Books, articles, and pamphlets on Heintzelman: the American Etchers Series; the Crafton Collection; John Taylor Arms, in Print Collectors Quarterly (Feb., 1937); and a complete catalog by the British Museum.
