Ernest Fiene

Born in Elberfeld, Germany in 1894, Fiene came to the United States at age 16 and became a naturalized citizen in 1927. He studied art at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League in New York, and in 1932 received a Guggenheim Fellowship. Through lithography, etching, and painting, Fiene, captured the rural scenes of New England and the architectural views of New York in a picturesque, abstract manner, which are eloquently charming and original.
