Helen Hyde
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Helen Hyde (1868-1919) was an American etcher and engraver. She was born at Lima, N. Y., graduated from the Wellesley School, Philadelphia, and studied art at the San Francisco Art Institute under Emil Carlsen, in Berlin under Frank Skarbina, in Paris under Raphaël Collin, and in Tokyo under Kano Tomonobu. She is noted especially for her etchings in color and her woodcuts of women and children. She first attracted general attention by her etchings of the Chinese children of San Francisco; she then made a series of woodcuts Mexican in subject; and she spent most of the 15 years between 1899 and 1914 in Japan making etchings, water colors, and woodcuts of Japanese children and women. Complete series of her work are to be found in the Congressional Library, Washington; and examples are in the New York Public Library and the San Francisco Art Museum.
