About this Item

(Probably Germany, before 1921). Etching showing a fine nautical scene, at the bottom signed in the plate 'H. Meyer-Cassel'. 21,5 x 12 cm (plate mark).*Hans Meyer-Cassel (later signed Meyer-Kassel) was such an outstanding artist that his native city acclaimed him by having Kassel added to his name. He enjoyed also success and honours in the U.S.A. and is known as 'Nevada artist'. From 1892, he studied and worked for 12 years (with some interruptions) in München, then in Kassel. In 1921 he immigrated to the U.S.A., had for ten years a studio in New York city, came to Pasadena, California, in 1935, and went to Nevada in 1937; in Nevada he lived in Reno, Carson City and later in Genua where he died.
