Excellent, framed, matted and sealed under glass. Pencil signed, numbered, dated and titled. Sight size 3" x 3". James Dexter Havens (1900–1960) was a printmaker and painter in Rochester, New York, who is considered part of the color woodblock revival in America.[1] He has works in the collections of the Library of Congress, the Metropolitan Museum, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester, and Strong National Museum of Play.[2][3] A founding member of the Print Club of Rochester, Havens designed its logo which is still in use. At the age of twenty-two, on the verge of death, he became the first person in the United States to receive the new drug insulin. Insulin therapy dramatically improved the quality of his life and he finished studying art at the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute (later Rochester Institute of Technology).
