Czechoslovakian born artist Terry Haass moved to France as a teenager and then moved to New York. She studied at the Art Students’ League with Will Barnet and met classmate Robert Blackburn. She worked at New York’s Atelier 17 beginning in 1946 and helped direct it when founder and fellow artist Stanley William Hayter returned to Paris in 1950. During this time she taught graphics at the Brooklyn College and the New York City College.
