Description
"Of Trees and Water" is a color lithograph that Keeler printed while he was working in Denver. With a nod to Marin, Feininger, and cubism he composes a dynamic abstract Colorado landscape.
Colorado-born printmaker Harold Keeler worked in the Colorado WPA after studying at the Art Institute of Chicago. During the 1930s he also worked as a Master Printer in Denver and was employed by the Denver Art Museum as a Print Researcher, focusing on Albrecht Durer's woodcuts.
In 1942 he moved to Seattle, Washington. Keeler was one of the first printmakers to work at Tamarind Lithographic Workshop, Los Angeles in 1961, working as a printer-fellow between August of 1961 and February of 1962.
