Seward, Coy Avon (1884-1939) "Adobe Land" 1930 etching, pencil signed in lower right, good condition, image size: 3.75 x 4.75 inches. C. A. Seward was a charter member of the Prairie Print Maker Society. He was the secretary of the organization. He was born on a farm near Chase, Kansas, on March 4, 1884. His urge to put on paper what he saw about him drew Seward to a career in art. His desire led him to study with George M. Stone, David L. Stewart, and Albert T. Reid.It was from Birger Sandz?n that he learned much of painting and lithography. The lithograph appealed to him immediately. The directness of the medium and the full range of gray to thunderous black all suited his vigorous style. In this medium he experimented endlessly.His work is found in many collections in the United States and Europe. He was a member of several prestigious printmaking societies. He also was always ready to lavish help and encouragement on younger artists. He was a leading spirit for the founding of the Wichita Center of the Arts. He also helped to organize the Artists Guild of Wichita. All of his accomplishments are even more remarkable because he was in frail health throughout his life.
