He was apprenticed at age 14 to an uncle, a baker, and confectioner, and baking became a hobby with him for the rest of his life.  He also learned the trade of lace designing and making, which ultimately influenced his pointellist painting style, and which was then a major trade in Switzerland.  But he felt constrained with having to copy patterns, and in the early 1900s went to Munich, where he lived the heady life of a young man. However, money ran out, and at age 19, he came to America and took the first train West.  He was briefly on a Wisconsin ranch, working as a sheep herder and then for ten years roamed the West doing odd jobs such as cooking in cafes, bartending, and driving mules on a railroad construction gang.  He relieved the monotony by painting in his spare time. He also explored lithography and silk screen painting and drew directly on stone or zinc plates.  With his wife, Mary Marsh, he wrote and illustrated two books: Dancing Cloud and Kobi. In 1906, he moved to Los Angeles, and from 1907, painted in Arizona.  Maynard Dixon was a frequent sketching companion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Conrad Buff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":4104067219497,"sku":"P292","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1596\/5487\/products\/P292-1-175x175.jpg?v=1510689397"},{"product_id":"tillman-goodan-1939-lithograph-with-hand-decoration","title":"Tillman Goodan 1939 lithograph with hand decoration","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003eTillman (Till) Goodan 1896-1958.

Eskey fought in France during WWI and studied art there after the war. When he returned to the U.S., he settled in North Hollywood, CA.

A regular visitor to his ranch was actor Lionel Barrymore whom he introduced to etching. Trees were often the subject of Eskey’s etchings; he also created pen-and-ink designs and bookplates. He died of tuberculosis in North Hollywood on Aug. 28, 1937. Exh: Chicago Society of Etchers, 1928; Brooklyn Society of Etchers, 1928; Calif.
