Sidney Chafetz

Sid was my role model as an artist and a teacher and he was a hard act to follow. My family and I were fortunate to have him in our lives for over 40 years. Rest in peace Sid.

His cousin,Dave Cohen,is my father-in-law.I will let him know.Is he related to Senator Jason Chafetz?

For more than 40 years Sid was my colleague and friend. Our work together was always challenging, warm and gratifying. He was an important, perhaps under-recognized artist and member of the human family. His work and spirit live on.

Sid was friends with my Dad and Mom in the 1950's.
I took courses from Sid in the 1970's. His insights and great humor made the printmaking enjoyable. I learned more from him in 5 minutes than I did from some teachers in 10 weeks.
He had a way of making a woodcut that is unique.
He will be missed.

Sid was a gentleman and a friend and he created the most wonderful and inspiring art. I miss him already! My thoughts go out to his family.

RIP dear friend!! You leave us beautiful memories!!!!

Lucky students had Professor Chafetz. He was pleasant, upbeat man.

I was a student in the Graphic Arts department during the late 50s, and although I didn't have Sidney as a professor, I knew him and revered him. During the last 10 years, I became reacquainted with him and saw him occasionally at arts events. My deepest condolences to his family. He was a wonderful man and a great artist.
