Descripción

Frame measure 20.25" x 24.25" x 2" deep. Time is approximately 7.5" x 10.25".<br>Very unusual piece from a well listed artist.<br><br>BIOGRAPHY: Harris Strong was born in Waukesha, Wisconsin in 1920.  His aunt<br>owned a greeting card company, and that influenced him to become an artist.  He<br>also had a strong scientific bent, so he was meticulous about the "engineering"<br>of his tiles, which featured many innovations when competitors were creating<br>"pie plates," in his own dismissive works. <br><br>During the war, he was a cryptographer, working directly under General Douglas<br>MacArthur during World War II.  Afterward, he studied ceramics* and the<br>chemistry of ceramic glazes at North Carolina State University.  Then he worked<br>in Brooklyn, New York at Kelby Pottery.  <br><br>Later his own business really took off. He had showrooms in Chicago, New York<br>and Tokyo… he created a 30' long free-standing ceramic tile mural for the<br>Waldorf-Astoria in York City, which remains in place.  One friend says he was<br>the first to ever show art at a home furnishings show. <br><br>He loved, and sang Gilbert & Sullivan, collected stamps, and played bridge.  In<br>1970, Strong relocated to Trenton, Maine, but after a fire destroyed his glazes<br>developed over 20 years, he shifted his focus to prints, serigraphs*, woodcuts*,<br>etchings*, engravings*, collage* and paintings. <br><br>Strong died in 2006.
