Daniel Kotz was born in a log cabin in South Bend, Indiana, near Notre Dame, on March 21st, 1848. He spent much of his youth working on the family farm, where he enjoyed nature and the countryside around him. In his spare time, he discovered he had an interest in drawing and sketching his surroundings, including trees, open meadows, hayfields and more. On the advice of Dr. Buchtel, the family physician, he began to devote himself to studying art. While he traveled around the area of the St. Joseph River and the Lake Michigan area, his interest in landscapes grew, as did his ability to capture it on paper and canvas. Daniel went to Northwestern College in Napiersville, Illinois, where he wrote a column called “Kotz’s Mite” for their monthly publication. In 1870, he went to Chicago where he studied etching under Henry F. Spread, and in 1875 he worked with Henry Arthur Elkins. He became well known throughout the area as an accomplished etcher and engraver, and was a charter member of the Chicago Art League. In the 1880s, he was commissioned by then Vice-President Schuyler Colfax to execute a painting for his wife, and in 1886 he exhibited his first paintings at the National Academy of Design. Around 1890 he went to New York City to open his own studio, and built a large home on a New Jersey hillside at Park Ridge. He was one of the founders of the Salmagundi Club around the turn of the century, as well as a member of the Nanuet Painters, the American Artist Professional League, and the Beachcombers’ Club in Provincetown, Massachusetts. He is known to have exhibited at the New York Etching Club, the Boston Art Club, and many other galleries up into the later 1910s, but began to work less and less in the 1920s as his health diminished. He found more and more of his favorite subject matter throughout the western New England area, where he painted until his death at his New Jersey home in 1933.
