Edward Landon studied at both the Hartford Art School and the Art Students League. He was a pioneer in elevating silkscreen to the level of fine art and was one of the founding members of the National Serigraph Society. He served as president of the society and as editor of its publication, The Serigraph Quarterly. Landon was also a musician and many of his subjects have the musical theme as their inspiration. In 1950 he was awarded a Fulbright Grant to study in Norway where he lectured on serigraphy and arranged exhibitions of the serigraph. He was widely exhibited at many of the leading museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
