A Whimsical, Art Deco Style Drawing of a Young Male Nude Model Swimming, "Swimmer Among the Stars" by Notable Chicago Modern Artist, Harold Haydon (Am. 1909-1994). Possibly a study for an illustration or commissioned work, the drawing is ink and charcoal on vellum paper dating from 1966. Artwork size: 4 3/4 x 7 inches, unframed, archivally matted to 11 x 14 inches (ready to frame). Titled and dated "Swimmer Among the Stars, June 1966" on the lower margin of the sheet. Estate stamped on reverse. Provenance: Estate of the artist. Harold Emerson Haydon was born in 1909 in Fort William, Ontario, Canada. He moved to Chicago with his family in 1917 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1941. Haydon attended the University of Chicago Lab School and the University of Chicago, where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree in Philosophy. He also studied at the Art Institute of Chicago in the early 1930s. Haydon became a Professor of Art at the University of Chicago from 1944-1975 and later taught as an instructor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1975-1981. From 1975-1982, Haydon also taught as an Adjunct Professor of Fine Arts at Indiana University.
