Description: Feel free to make an offer on any of my items! Daniel Kotz (1848-1933) Pastel on Paper Landscape Painting Framed 23 x 19 (Approximate) Kotz has to have earned the distinction of being the least known master painter ever. A legion of artists who were exposed to training in both Paris and London at the turn of the century came under the spell of the pastels of Whistler. And Kotz was no exception. This piece has the lightness and poetry of the master's touch and also the color harmony of Childe Hassam. Daniel Kotz, painter, etcher, and engraver, was born in a log cabin in South Bend, Indiana, near Notre Dame, on March 21, 1848. He spent much of his youth working on the family farm, where he enjoyed nature and the countryside around him. In his spare time, he discovered he had an interest in drawing and sketching his surroundings, including trees, open meadows, hayfields and more.On the advice of Dr. Buchtel, the family physician, he began to devote himself to studying art. While he traveled around the area of the St. Joseph River and the Lake Michigan area, his interest in landscapes grew, as did his ability to capture it on paper and canvas. Daniel went to Northwestern College in Napersville, Illinois, where he wrote a column called "Kotz's Mite" for their monthly publication.In 1870, he went to Chicago where he studied under Henry F. Spread, and in 1875 he worked with Henry Arthur Elkins. Kotz was a charter member of the Chicago Art League. In the 1880s, he was commissioned by then Vice-President Schuyler Colfax, to execute a painting for his wife.Around 1890, he went to New York City, where he opened a studio. He was the cover story of the American Art Journal, March 22, 1890, and there in 1886 at the National Academy of Design, he exhibited the first painting he had ever exhibited in Chicago.In the 1890's, Daniel Kotz built a commodious studio and home on a New Jersey hillside at Park Ridge, overlooking the beautiful Pascack Valley with New York in the distance. He was one of the originators of the Salmagundi Club in New York around the turn of the century. He was a member of the Salmagundi Club, the Nanuet Painters, the American Artist Professional League, and the Beachcombers' Club in Provincetown.He is known to have exhibited at the New York Etching Club, the National Academy of Design 1909, the Salmagundi Club, the Boston Art Club 1889, 1892, 1896, 1898, 1899, the Art Institute of Chicago 1889, 1894, 1896, 1897, 1904, 1905, 1908, 1909, 1911, 1917, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts 1895, 1898-1900, and the American Art Association.
