Ernest Fiene (1894-1965) was a 20th-century American graphic artist known primarily for his varied printed works, including lithographs and etchings. Born in Germany in 1894, Fiene fled his native land in 1912 to avoid military service in World War I and eventually ended up in the United States. In the next decade Fiene studied at the National Academy of Design, the Beaux Arts Institute of Design, and the Art Students League of New York, where he eventually taught. His notable work includes scene of modern life and industry, cityscapes, landscapes, and other figural art. Fienes work can be found at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Butler Institute of American Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Addison Gallery of American Art, San Diego Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Renwick Gallery.
