Bea Mandelman began her art instruction at the
age of twelve by attending evening classes at the Newark School of
Fine Arts. She continued her art instruction after college at the
Art Student’s League in New York, studying under lithographer George
Pickens. In addition, she studied painting in France with Fernand
Leger. She was involved with the WPA Federal Arts Project in New York
first as a mural assistant and then in graphic arts. It was at this
point that she developed her fine art approach to silkscreen with
five other artists. These artists coined the term ‘serigraph’ and
founded the Serigraph Society. Her work has been exhibited at the
Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art and the National
Gallery. She relocated to New Mexico in 1944 and continued her abstract
painting work. In 1959 she became a teacher at the Taos Valley Art
School. |
