Henry Keller

Apr 3, 1869 - Aug 3, 1949

Henry George Keller was an American artist who led a generation of Ohio watercolor painters of the Cleveland School. Keller's students at the Cleveland School of Art and his Berlin Heights, Ohio summer school included Charles E. Burchfield, Paul Travis, and Frank N. Wilcox.
In the Leslie Family Record, by Elvesta Thomas Leslie, a first cousin of Henry, spoke of Henry Keller:
"As Mortimer died young, widowhood threw Guineveer’s mother to the support of herself and her small girl. She met the heavy and double misfortune with fortitude and competency even as you and your aunt Rosa met like but more tragic adversities. She took orders for busts in crayon and hired artists to draw them. In this way she met young Keller, and Guineveer, her romance. Henry made portraits for the mother. Henry Keller was educated here and in Munich. He was one of a small galaxy of local artists who have won honors in more metropolitan centers. He is a pioneer of the city’s higher cultural life. A harder, or mor conscientious worker can not be found. He maintains his better than average constitution, inherited from German-born parents, by regular life and exemplary habits.
