Bio:
A graduate of Cooper Union School of Art, N.Y, Mildred Hado studied with Robert Gwathmay, Hans Moller, and Edwin Dickinson at the Art Students League, Parsons School of Design, and at Pratt Graphics Center, NY.  Her early experience in the animated commercial and film industry developed in her a sharp sense of design and the power to communicate strongly yet simply. Many of her paintings showcase conceptual ideas and illustrate common sayings in novel ways.  She was influenced by Paul Klee, Saul Steinberg and Gustav Klimpt.
Mildred Hado’s work was displayed in many of New York’s outdoor art shows, museums and private collections during the 1970’s and 80’s.  I remember the excitement of her first show at the New York State Pavilion from the 1964 New York World’s Fair when she sold her first painting. She became known for her unique painting technique using translucent layers of acrylic paint, richly textured surfaces, and abstract forms through which she communicated social commentary with humor and whimsy.
Mildred exhibited and sold her work widely in Metropolitan NY and New England but looked forward to returning to her gallery in Lenox every summer.
