Helen Hyde was a pioneer of color woodblock printmaking in America and one of the first Western women to study woodblock printing in the Orient. At the age of 12 she began studying with Ferdinand Richardt, the Danish landsape painter. She later studied with Soren Emil Carlsen, Franz Skarbina, Albert Sterner, and Raphael Collins. It was Felix Regamey who cultivated Hyde's interest in Oriental art. In 1899 Hyde went to Japan where she studied with Kano Tomonobu, the last master of the Kano school of painting. She remained in Japan for 15 years. As subjects for her art she chose women and children, portraying scenes from everyday domestic life as well as Japanese festivals. Collections in Art Institute of Chicago; Library of Congress; Rutgers University; Carnegie Library; Achenbach Foundation for the Graphic Arts, San Francisco.
