HYATT, HARRIET RANDOLPH—­MRS. ALFRED L. MAYER. Silver medal at Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia, 1895.  Member of National Art Club, New York.  Born at Salem, Massachusetts.  Studied at Cowles Art School and with Ross Turner; later under H. H. Kitson and Ernest L. Major.

Among this artist’s pictures are “Shouting above the Tide,” “Primitive Fishing,” “The Choir Invisible,” etc.

The plaster group called the “Boy with Great Dane” was the work of this artist and her sister, Anna Vaughan Hyatt, and is at the Bureau of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in New York.

HYATT, ANNA VAUGHAN. Member of the Copley Society, Boston.  Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  Studied nature at Bostock’s Animal Arena, Norumbega Park, and at Sportsman’s Exhibition.  Criticism from H. H. Kitson.

The principal works of this artist are the “Boy with Great Dane,” already mentioned, made in conjunction with her sister; a “Bison,” in a private collection in Boston; and “Playing with Fire.”

In November, 1902, Miss Hyatt held an exhibition of her works, in plaster and bronze, at the Boston Art Club.  There were many small studies taken from life.

HYDE, HELEN. Member of the Art Association, San Francisco.  Born in Lima, New York, but has lived so much in California that she is identified with that State, and especially with San Francisco.  She made her studies in San Francisco, Philadelphia, New York, and Paris, where she was a pupil of Felix Regamy and Albert Sterner.  She then went to Holland, where she also studied.  On her return to San Francisco she became so enamoured of the Oriental life she saw there that she determined to go to Japan to perfect herself in colored etching.  Miss Hyde devoted herself to the study she had chosen during three years.  She lived in an old temple at Tokio, made frequent excursions into the country, was a pupil of the best Japanese teachers, adapted herself to the customs of the country, worked on low tables, sitting on the floor, and so gained the confidence of the natives that she easily obtained models, and, in a word, this artist was soon accorded honors in Japanese exhibitions, where her pictures were side by side with those of the best native artists.

Miss Hyde has made a visit to America and received many commissions which decided her to return to Japan.  A letter from a friend in Tokio, written in October, 1903, says that she will soon return to California.

IGHINO, MARY. A sculptor residing in Genoa.  Since 1884 she has exhibited a number of busts, bas-reliefs, and statues.  At Turin in the above-named year she exhibited a group in plaster, “Love Dominating Evil.”  She is especially successful in bas-relief portraits; one of these is of the Genoese sculptor, Santo Varin.  She has also made a bust of Emanuele Filiberto; and in terra-cotta a bust of Oicetta Doria, the fifteenth-century heroine of Mitylene.  She has executed a number of decorative and monumental works, and receives many commissions from both Italians and foreigners.
