T. F. SimonBorn in Zeleznice, Bohemia in 1877, Simon studied at the Academy of Art in Prague. Influenced by the French Impressionists, he traveled to Paris in 1903,
and became enamored with the French Colorists and their work in the field of color prints. Simon was basically self-taught as a printmaker, developing his
own style using aquatint and soft-ground etching, he produced subtle color prints of the simplicity and charm of life within the French city of Paris. He traveled
extensively throughout the world producing many color aquatints, in particular, some wonderful images of Japan and its people. However, Simon, always
nurturing his fondness for his native Prague, produced many prints showing his love for the city and its wonderful "old world" architecture.
