White Peacock Helen Hyde (American, 1868-1919). , 1914. Color woodcut on cream, thin, slightly textured laid paper, Other (Folder): 14 1/4 x 19 5/8 in. ( x cm). Many aspects of Helen Hyde’s career parallel that of Bertha Lum, whose works are also on view. Both artists lived in Japan (although it seems that they were not acquainted), studied with local masters, created woodcuts in a Japanese manner, and achieved commercial success. Ironically, despite Hyde’s relatively unconventional life as an unmarried professional woman, she favored what were considered typically “feminine” subject
