Arthur William Heintzelman

Born in New Jersey, Arthur Heintzelman was raised in Providence, Rhode Island. He became a premier printmaker and took his early art education at the Rhode Island School of Design. He traveled for two years in Europe and then became head of the Fine Arts Departments at the Detroit and the Rhode Island Schools of Design.

From 1916, he focused on etching, and from 1921 to 1935, studied that medium in Paris. In 1941, he became Keeper of Prints at the Boston Public Library and Curator of the Albert Wiggin Collection. He also wrote and lectured extensively on great printmakers, past and present.
