He served with the Austrian Army from 1914 to 1918. After the war Louis Szantho developed an international reputation for both his paintings and etchings. He worked and traveled throughout the Baltic States, Italy, France and Holland and exhibited his art in many major centers, including New York and Chicago. In the early years of the Great Depression (c. 1930), Szantho moved to the United States where he worked on art projects commissioned by the Works Progress Administration (WPA 1935-1943). During the 1930's he created many American views and often worked in collaboration with the artist, Andrew Karoly. Source: Art of the Print Gallery Get images that make Supersized seem small.
