HELEN HYDE (American 1868-1919)
Internationally recognized during her lifetime with dealers in New York, Chicago, and Paris, American artist Helen Hyde was a trend-setter in the introduction of traditional Japanese color woodblock printmaking techniques to the Western art world. Hyde lived and worked in Japan for most of her adult career and produced a sizable body of works largely depicting charming images of children. Hyde’s prints accurately capture the shapes and characters of Japanese children as they play and frolic in an adult world. Hyde used an exceptionally subtle palette of colors, including beautiful mauves, soft greens, and delicate yellows.
