About the Item

Sidney Chafetz was known for his clever compositions and his many portraits, all made in the most 'difficult to control' medium of woodcut.. This charming subject combines a likeness of the American poet Wallace Stevens with a boulevardier's swagger. It is signed, titled, and dated in pencil. It is an artist's proof (and it's annotated 'AP') from an edition of 250 published by Associated American Artists in 1973. References: Bremner 197, Windisch & Cole 2260.
