Description
Impressions of "In the Street of Life and Death, Segovia" were exhibited in 1928 in Fine Prints of the Year, An Exhibition of Etchings with the Chicago Society of Etchers, and the annual exhibition of the California Society of Printmakers in Los Angeles. In 1980, it was included in Los Angeles Prints, 1883-1980, mounted at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Keeler had studied with Bertha Jacques and worked in almost pure aquatint, with just a few etched lines.
Calle de la Vida y la Muerte, also called The Street of Life and Death is off the Plaza de Somorrastro where the Academia de Artillería (the Artillery Academy) is located in Segovia, Spain.
