A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Henry Keller had a forty-year career as a teacher at the Cleveland School of Art and also directed a summer school at Berlin Heights, Ohio. He became the first artist in Ohio to achieve distinction in watercolor. By combining watercolor with tempera and other media, he created innovations widely adopted by his students including Charles Burchfield, Paul Travis, and Frank Wilcox. However, few remaining examples of his work have been found.
