Born in Wisconsin, Armin Landeck studied at the Art Students League, and then with Stanley Hayter at Atelier 17, where he began to explore printmaking. By the 1930s, he had joined with Martin Lewis to open the School of Printmakers, which, unfortunately, did not survive the Great Depression. Landeck was a member of the Society of American Etchers and the National Academy of Design. His skill working in the media of etching and engraving led to his inclusion in many exhibitions, and to his work being acquired by numerous major public institutions, including the Art Institute of Chicago, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, and many more.
