Harry Herman Wickey
American printmaker and sculptor, 1892–1968
After the war, he turned to printmaking and teaching, which provided his primary livelihood between 1919 and 1933. He taught in his own studio and, from 1929 to 1933, at the Art Students League. In 1920 he began etching and received attention for his energetic city scenes. By 1938 he had started to sculpt seriously, translating his interest in urban types, like shoppers and aging boxers, into a new medium. Wickey's papers are housed at Syracuse University.
