A LEGACY OF ARCHITECTURE AND AMERICAN PRINTMAKING



Gerald K. Geerlings’ contributions to American architectural printmaking and the “Etching Revival” of the early-20th century live on through his etchings and lithographs.

Creating fewer than 60 prints over the course of his artistic career, Gerald’s early breakthrough etchings from the 1920’s and 1930’s remain his most-celebrated (and most-recognizable) works.

Gerald’s intricate cityscapes, which later became the foundation of his career in military intelligence via
aerial target mapping, serve as visual chronicles of the interwar period’s booming metropolises, the period’s optimism, and its celebration of human progress.

Today, the works of Gerald K. Geerlings can be found in the permanent collections of notable museums, both in the United States and abroad.
