Artist Bio
Harriet Holden Nash (1933 - )
Harriet was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and lived with her husband in Park Slope for over 35 years.
She attended the Brooklyn Museum School at age 14 where she established her reputation as an abstract expressionist at the Brooklyn Museum School of Art. She later attended Cooper Union, and was under the tutelage of such esteemed artists as Louis Grebenak as well as Willem De Kooning.
Harriet was known as an abstract expressionist from early on in her career, and exhibited at the young age of 17. She enjoyed painting large canvasses, and her subjects ranged from pure abstractions to those of the human form to trees and flowers, as well as urban landscapes of scenes she was familiar with, including the Lincoln Tunnel helix and entrance from Weehawken, New Jersey.
She notes her artistic influences to be Arshile Gorky, Pablo Picasso, and Willem De Kooning, as she was very focused on abstract shape and forms. She also liked to experiment with color, and was attracted to bright, striking colors. Nash was most prolific as a painter using first oils and then acrylic, but also was known to create clay sculpture as well as forms created with found objects.
Nash was very involved with the art community in Brooklyn, and served for several years as a Trustee and even Chairwoman of the Community Gallery of the Brooklyn Museum School, organizing shows displaying the diversity and talent of local area artists.
Nash exhibited her work several times over the years, beginning with her days at the Brooklyn Museum School. She later exhibited with Elizabeth Delson in 1969 at the Paerdegat Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library for the Contemporary Artists of Brooklyn Group Exhibition. She was also part of the "30 at 303" exhibit of drawings held at The Brownstone Gallery in Park Slope for the benefit of the Community Gallery of the Brooklyn Museum in the spring of 1970 with artists Lennart Anderson, Harvey and Simon Dinnerstein, David Levine, and Louis Grebenak to name a few.

- Large Mid Century Modern Texas Artist Abstract Expressionist Vintage PaintingBy Duanye HatchettLocated in Buffalo, NYAn abstract expressionist painting by Duayne Hatchett . Oil on canvas, circa 1990. Signed verso. Framed. Image size, 60"H x 56"L. Duayne Hatchett was a visual artist whose work included prints, paintings, sculpture, and found objects. He was born on May 12, 1925 in Shawnee, Oklahoma. He enlisted in the Air Force where he trained to become a fighter pilot. After leaving the militrary he studied design at the University of Oklahoma. His highly technical military training combined a mathematical intelligence with a love for physics and a daring embrace of new experience, all of which would soon be the tools for his evolution through art. Two major influences interacted on his early development at OU. Emelio Omero, a colleague and close friend of Diego Rivera, introduced him to the revolutionary art ideas of Mexico City, while teaching him a wide range of printing techniques that would culminate in a Masters Degree in Painting in 1952. During this time he met Bruce Goff, a renowned Wright disciple, who was teaching architecture at OU and befriended Hatchett, introducing him to the most avant-garde architecture of that time. He spent his summers while at OU designing for a small sign shop, which introduced him to new materials used for building neon, plastic, and metal signs. The use of new materials and a keen sense for design would soon become invaluable building blocks for future sculpture. During this time he met and married Mary Ellen Jeffries. They would spend their lives together and raise three children, David (me), my brother Dana, and my sister Jeffri. As children, they were immersed in art from childhood and benefited greatly from this loving art and domestic environment. Hatchett was always interested in the techniques of construction, often watching different tradesmen working, understanding how materials are put together to create the manmade environment that surrounded him. While teaching printmaking at Oklahoma City University from 1951 through ‘54, he began to build sculpture employing some of the materials and techniques that he saw workers using. He was beginning to draw the attention of architects and he became interested in their work-trade processes, moving from blue prints to construction. He accepted an invitation from Alexander Hogue...Category
