Harriet FeBland
Born in New York and trained there. Studied at Pratt Institute, New York University, American Artist School, Art Students League and other schools. Studies continued abroad while living in England and France for 11 years. Actively participated in European art circles exhibiting the Musee D'Art Moderne, Paris; Alwin Galleries and the Drian Gallery, London.
Opened a studio in New York and Westchester. In the United States, early 1960's gained recognition as a pioneer constructivist sculptor/painter. Worked with unusual materials (for the time) (plexiglass, acrylics, metals-nails and electricity) long before they were acceptable or normal choices. Invented the term "Construction" now part of the art lexicon, to define her art form. Numerous articles described her as "innovator" and "visionary", "New Art Forms in Plexiglas." Rohm and Haas Reporter Magazine, March 1966 and Plastics World Magazine, January 1966.
She founded the school for advanced painters in 1962, Named "Harriet FeBland Art Workshop." Remained Director until 1993. Workshops were held in N.Y.C. and Pelham, New York (Westchester). Workshops were also given at: Bennington College, Bennington, Vermont; Chelsea School of Art, London University, London, England; College of New Rochelle and Iona College, both in New Rochelle, New York; Santa Fe Art Institute, New Mexico; and elsewhere.
