Helen Hyde (1868-1919)
Born in Lima, New York, Helen Hyde moved to San Francisco with her family in 1870 where her wealthy father had built a business based on the Gold Rush. At age 12, she began studying art with Ferdinand Richart in Oakland. Two years later, her father died and her mother and sisters relocated to the home of her Aunt, Augusta Bixler. In 1886 Hyde graduated from Wellesley School for Girls and entered the California School of Design. From 1888-1894 she studied in New York City, Berlin, and Paris where she met Felix Regamey, a Japonist who greatly influenced her development.
In 1894 Hyde returned to San Francisco and in 1895 she bought a printing press and experimented with etching. In 1896, Chinatown became a source of subjects for her early etchings, which she continued to sell in America. In 1899, Hyde traveled to Japan and by 1900 began producing colored etchings and woodcuts in Tokyo. There she met Ernest Fenollosa and Emil Orlik. In 1901 she returned to San Francisco and in 1902 visited dealers in New York and Boston, returning to Tokyo at the end of the year.
For ten years, between 1903-1913, she traveled widely from her base in Tokyo, visiting China, India, and Mexico before returning permanently to the United States in 1914. Hyde exhibited prints at the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition in 1915 where she won the Bronze Medal. Moving to Chicago, she had a solo show at the Chicago Art Institute in 1916. In 1919 Hyde was visiting her sister Mabel in Pasadena, California, when she died of cancer. A memorial exhibition of her works was held at the Art Institute of Chicago the following year.
As one of the first Western artists to study Japanese print making in Japan, Helen Hyde influenced many other artists to visit and study there.

Helen Hyde
Helen Hyde was a printmaker and illustrator, born in Lima, New York, but spent a cultured childhood in Oakland, California. At 12, she began art instruction under Ferdinand Richardt, but it ended abruptly two years later when her father died and her family resettled in San Francisco. Hyde and her mother moved to Philadelphia, and after she graduated from Wellesley School, she returned to San Francisco and studied at the School of Design. Hyde studied briefly at the Art Students League in New York between 1888–89. The following year she departed on a four-year sojourn in Europe, which included studying with Franz Skarbina in Berlin, Rafael Collins and Albert Sterner in Paris, and months in Holland and England. In Paris, Hyde met Félix Régamey, who introduced her to the "loveliness of things Japanese" and this meeting was to have a profound effect on her life and work. Returning to San Francisco, Hyde sought out subjects in Chinatown and produced her first series of color etchings. In 1899, Hyde voyaged to Japan, where she became an ardent student of the Japanese language and a student of classical brush painting with an Austrian artist working in Tokyo, and it was from him that she learned the skills of carving woodblocks. She eventually accepted the Japanese system of divided labor and employed Japanese carvers and printers (Shohiro Murata carved her woodcuts for eleven years). Japan was Hyde's home until 1914 when she returned to the United States due to ill health. Hyde exhibited both nationally and internationally and her work won honors in Japan. She was awarded the gold medal at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exhibition in Seattle in 1909 and the bronze medal for woodcut at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915. Hyde was a member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the Printmakers Society of California, the Chicago Society of Artists and a life member of the Société de la Gravure en Couleur.

ABOUT THE IMAGE

The Sanmon Gate, Chionin's entrance gate, standing 24 meters tall and 50 meters wide, it is the largest wooden temple gate in Japan and dates back to the early 1600s. Behind the gate, a broad set of stairs leads to the main temple grounds.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Painter and printmaker Yoshida Hiroshi (1876-1950) is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the Japanese 'shin hanga' (New Print) movement.
Yoshida was born as the second son of Ueda Tsukane in Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture, a schoolteacher from an old samurai family. In 1891 he was adopted by his art teacher Yoshida Kasaburo in Fukuoka and took his surname. In 1893 he went to Kyoto to study painting, and the following year to Tokyo to join Koyama Shotaro's Fudosha private school; he also became a member of the Meiji Fine Arts Society. These institutions taught and advocated Western-style painting, greatly influencing Yoshida’s artistic development.
In 1899 Yoshida had his first American exhibition at Detroit Museum of Art (now Detroit Institute of Art), making the first of many visits to the US and Europe. In 1902 he helped reorganize the Meiji Fine Arts Society, renaming it the Taiheiyo-Gakai (Pacific Painting...
