History / Biographical NoteBiographical / HistoricalErnest D. Roth (1879-1964) was born in Stuttgard, Germany. He came to the United States at an early age and studied at the National Academy of Design with James D. Smillie. He returned to Europe in 1905 and remained there etching the hill towns, cathedrals, and cities of Europe. Returning to the United states in 1920, he produced many prints of architecture of New York and Philadelphia. Similar to other artists of his time, Roth travelled to Europe to record landscapes. His works are located in a variety of institutions: the Boston Museum of Fine Arts; Art Institute of Chicago; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Uffizi Gallery, Florence; Brooklyn Museum, NY; NY Public Library; and many others. He was awarded prizes by the Salmagundi Club in 1911, 1912, 1915, 1917 and 1918; by the Chicago Society of Etchers in 1914 and 1936; by the Society of American Etchers in 1935; and by the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1930. He was awarded a silver medal for etching and a bronze medal for painting at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in 1915. |
