Arthur W. Heintzelman

Heintzelman was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1890 and studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and in Europe. He was a master etcher and draftsman in the field of portraiture, recording sensitive images of children, musicians, elderly people, and world-wide figures, such as Dr. Albert Schweitzer and Arturo Toscanini. In 1941, he was given the title of Keeper of Prints at the Boston Public Library and continued in that position, arranging exhibitions; adding collections of prints; and writing about the graphic arts for the Library's publications, until his retirement in 1960. His graphic works number about 300, consisting of etchings, drypoints, and lithographs.
