Item: Henry George Keller Nude (1870-1949)
I just acquired this amazing drawing from the old estate of an art collector in Ohio. It is my opinion that is was done by Henry George Keller. I did not open the frame to see if there is a signature; but it looks to be in the exact style and media used in other figure drawings of Keller's, also it appears to be the same model in a few. Additionally, the collector created a pocket in the back to hold a Cleveland Museum of Art exhibition article about him. It is in perfect condition and framed it measures 20" x 27 1/2". It is a stunning nude drawing. Henry George Keller 'Henry Keller': A very influential modernist American painter of the early twentieth century, Henry George Keller first studied art at the unlikely institution of the Western Reserve School of Design for Women, in 1887. Unable to find a teaching position in Cleveland he worked for eight years at the Morgan lithograph Company designing circus posters. In 1899, Henry Keller resumed his artistic education in Germany and studied at the art academies of Munich and Dusseldorf. His art received a silver medal at the 1902 Munich Kunstakademie exhibition. He returned to Cleveland in 1903 to begin teaching as an instructor at the Cleveland School of Art. Henry George Keller also created his own informal school at his family home in Berlin Heights, Ohio, during the summers of 1903 through to 1914. As a teacher of watercolor and drawing techniques, Henry Keller's influence was vast. Some of his most important pupils from this period include Charles Burchfield, Paul Travis and Frank Wilcox.If there is any additional information or anything I may help you with please e-mail!
