Karl Bitter: A Biography, written by Ferdinand Schevill and published in 1917, is a comprehensive account of the life and work of Karl Bitter, an Austrian-American sculptor who was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book traces Bitter's journey from his early years in Vienna, where he trained as a sculptor under some of the leading artists of the time, to his move to the United States in 1889, where he quickly established himself as one of the most prominent sculptors of his generation.Schevill's biography provides a detailed look at Bitter's artistic development, including his experiments with different materials and techniques, his collaborations with architects and other artists, and his involvement in major public projects such as the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, and the Saint Louis World's Fair. The book also explores Bitter's personal life, including his relationships with his family, friends, and colleagues, and his struggles with health issues and financial difficulties.Throughout the book, Schevill draws on a wide range of sources, including Bitter's personal papers, letters, and diaries, as well as contemporary accounts and interviews with those who knew him. The result is a richly detailed and engaging portrait of a pioneering artist who played a significant role in shaping the cultural landscape of his time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
