Leon DoliceBorn in Austria, Dolice spent the major part of his teens and early twenties studying the works of the Masters while venturing throughout Europe. He came to the United States in 1920 and settled in Greenwich Village, New York City. Obsessed with the city, he depicted the architecture, alley ways, waterfront, and nostalgic areas of his newly adopted environment. Most of his etchings dealt with areas now extinct or forgotten, like the Third Avenue El, where Dolice had maintained his studio for over ten years. He also devoted time doing pastels and paintings of New York. Dolice's works are in the collection of the Museum of the City of New York, New York Historical Society, and the New York Public Library.
