Sidney Chafetz
Sidney Chafetz, The Stroller (Wallace Stevens)

1971

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.
