Lauriat, BostonProvenance: Hatay Stratton Fine Art, Northampton, Massachusetts About the Artist: One of America's foremost artists of the late nineteenth century, Otto Henry Bacher first studied art under Willis Seaver Adams in Cleveland before entering the Royal Academy in Munich, Germany, in 1978. From late 1879 through 1882, Otto Bacher lived and worked in both Florence and Venice. In 1880 he formed a close relationship in Venice with none other than James McNeill Whistler. The two artists worked together on a number of occasions, producing etchings of Venice which shocked contemporary critics for their freedom of expression. These remarkable etchings are now considered as cornerstones of modern art. Otto Bacher returned to America in 1883 and taught at the Cleveland Academy of Art. Several years later he settled in New York and exhibited his art there as well as in London, Philadelphia and Paris. Otto Bacher was elected an Associate of the National Academy of Design.
