DePol, John, 1913–2004.
Artist and engraver John DePol was born in 1913 in Greenwich Village in New York City. As a young man DePol spent much of his free time exploring the West Village in New York, sketching street scenes and the waterfront. Some of these sketches would later be the basis of etchings or wood engravings. By 1929 DePol was working as a statistical clerk and securities runner on Wall Street and attending night classes, learning typing and shorthand, skills he later utilized as a clerk during World War II.
DePol’s first venture into printmaking began on April 28, 1935 when he printed his first etching with a homemade press in the basement workshop of a neighbor. A watercolor depicting this event survives in the collection. Seeking to improve his knowledge of etching and the printing process, DePol enrolled in an evening class in etching and lithography taught by George Picken at the Art Students League in 1938. While at the Art Students League DePol created several lithographs.
