Fernando Cueto Amorsolo

[Philippines] (b 1892/d 1972)

" Fernando C. Amorsolo, National Artist, was born on May 30, 1892 in Paco, Manila, to
Pedro Amorsolo and Bonifacia Cueto. He spent the first 13 years of his youth in Daet, Camarines Norte. Already a promising artist at an early age, he busied himself in the midst of rice fields and abaca plantations sketching animals, seascapes and landscapes. He spent time copying pictures from calendars and sitting by a wharf drawing ships at sea. (..) While in Daet, Fernando and his brothers studied in a public school and were tutored on how to read and write in Spanish at home. Unfortunately, his father’s death left the family destitute and Fernando had to stop studying after only three years of formal schooling.Two years after his father’s death, in 1905, the family returned to Manila and stayed with the painter Don Fabian dela Rosa who was his mother’s first cousin. Under Don Fabian’s guidance, Fernando learned to mix paints and wield the brush as his uncle’s apprentice. He made watercolor postcards which he sells to a bookstore for 10 centavos each.

Luigi Kasimir

[Austria] (b 1881/d 1962)

Luigi Kasimir was an Austro-Hungarian born etcher, painter, printmaker and landscape artist ..He inherited his talent from his ancestors; his grandfather was a painter and a poet, and his father an officer in the Habsburg army, who later became a professional painter. Kasimir attended the Vienna Academy of Art where he studied under Wilhelm Unger, who introduced him to the technique of the coloured etching, and also to his future wife, the artist Tanna Hoernes. Kasimir was among the first to develop the technique of the colored etching.[1] Before this, prints were usually hand-colored with the color being applied in a casual, haphazard manner. Kasimir would first create a sketch—usually in pastel. He then transferred the design on as many as four to six plates, printing one after the other and applying the color on the plate—all done by hand... Kasimir is mainly famous for his etchings, but he also produced some oil painting, as well as some pastels. One of his favorite genres was the landscape"  [ Wikipedia ]
