The Furious Dragon - Helen Hyde
The Furious Dragon: engraved power and chromatic softness by Helen Hyde
The composition of The Furious Dragon captures a dramatic moment where the creature coils and unfurls its scales with almost calligraphic precision. The hues range from deep reds, muted greens, to ochres, creating a warm contrast that structures the action without overpowering the detail. The technique, reflecting the influence of Japanese prints and a keen sense of modeling, gives the work an intensity that is both narrative and contemplative. The atmosphere evokes both mythical power and the finesse of the line, inviting the viewer to explore each motif and nuance.
Helen Hyde, master of East-West osmosis
Artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Helen Hyde distinguished herself by her ability to fuse Japanese aesthetics with Western sensibility. Influenced by ukiyo-e, her practice favors linearity, harmonious flat areas, and great attention to decorative detail; her engravings and watercolors contributed to renewing the taste for refined exoticism in artistic circles. Through her compositions, she helped broaden dialogues between pictorial traditions, making each piece a cultural bridge. The dragon, a recurring motif, reveals her subtle mastery of movement and symbolism.
