June Harwood (June 16, 1933 – January, 2015) was an American painter based in California who made a name for herself in the 1960s as an inventive artist of the hard-edge movement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=June Harwood - Biography )〕 ==Life== June Harwood was born in Middleton, New York, and spent much of her childhood in the Adirondacks in northern New York State. In the halcyon days, she would row a boat across the lake, anchor in an inlet and paint small watercolor landscapes. These days contributed largely to her interest in art, and specifically, in landscapes which recur in various forms during her painting career.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Geoform - An Interview with Artist June Harwood )〕 She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Syracuse University in 1953 and a Master of Arts degree from California State University, Los Angeles in 1957. She was a teacher at Hollywood High School in Los Angeles from 1958 – 1970, and at the Los Angeles Valley College from 1975-1993, where she became a professor and, for a period, chairperson of the Art Department.”.〔 After she received her BFA from Syracuse University in 1953, Harwood moved to California. There she worked at the Los Angeles Art Association and became familiar with the local art scene, and met fellow hard-edge painters Lorser Feitelson and Helen Lundeberg. Feitelson supported and encouraged her work considerably, and eventually mentioned her work to Jules Langsner, a noted writer, critic, and art historian. Harwood and Langsner married in Rome, Italy in 1965. The couple spent their honeymoon in Paris with Man Ray. On teaching art: "I feel I can teach well and understand what kids are groping for," she told The Times in 1968. "The art field has never been more wide open or accepted, but at the same time, there are so many possible directions."She told her students that no matter what direction they chose, the basic formula for finding meaning in their work is always the same. "To be a painter, you have to be able to see yourself and understand," she said, "and this is difficult for any generation."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Geoform - An Interview with Artist June Harwood )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「June Harwood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
