About the Art: Superior Edition
About the Artist:
Ethelyn Cosby Stewart was born in Arlington, New Jersey in 1900.
Stewart studied art in New York and graduated with special honours, being the only student permitted to hold a one-woman show. For the following few years she designed textiles, worked in batik, and created lampshades before joining the staff of a New York gallery devoted to ancient and modern works of art and fine lighting.
Stewart, who is extremely well-known for her etchings, invented a process for printing copper plate etchings on soft material which could be used for lampshade decoration. Her talent for interior design was so highly thought of by the National Academy of Design that for several consecutive years she was invited to show her work in the institution’s print room.
During the 1920s, when batik designs were popular, Stewart’s work became highly sought after and celebrated. Examples of all types of Stewart’s work (batik, oil painting and etching) can now be found in many national museums of the USA including the Metropolitan Museum, the National Academy, the Pennsylvania Academy and the Art Alliance.
Ethelyn Cosby Stewart died in 1972.
