Luigi Lucioni (1900 - 1988)
Painter and etcher Luigi Lucioni was born in Malnate in northern Italy. By the time his family emigrated to the United States in 1911, he was already an excellent draftsman. He won a design competition four years later that allowed him to attend Cooper Union. He subsequently attended the National Academy of Design and there he won a Tiffany Foundation scholarship that allowed him to return to Italy for study. As a result of his stay in Italy, his work bore the imprint of the classical realist style. He is best known for his portraits and landscapes. Lucioni maintained studios in both New York City and in Vermont. He won many honors including first prize at the Carnegie International Exhibition (1939) and the Corcoran Biennial. He was a member of the Society of American Etchers and the Allied Art Association, and taught portraiture at the Art Students League in New York City.
