About the Artist
Dwight Sturges
Dwight Sturges is one of the most acclaimed American etchers of the early twentieth century. Sturges studied at the Cowles Art School in Boston. Most of Sturge’s early art was in the medium of oil painting. Beginning around 1910, however, he devoted himself almost exclusively to the art of original etching. Many awards soon followed, most notable from the Chicago Society of Etchers and at the Pan Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915.
