Helen Phillips (artist)

Helen Elizabeth Phillips (March 3, 1913 – January 22, 1994) was an American sculptor, printmaker, and graphic artist active in San Francisco, New York, and Paris.[1]

Early life and education

Phillips was born in Fresno, California. From 1932–36, she studied at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco with Ralph Stackpole. In 1936, Phillips won the school's Phelan Travelling Fellowship, a competitive scholarship with which she funded a year of study in Paris.[2] From 1936, Phillips associated with Atelier 17, an experimental and collaborative intaglio printmaking workshop operating in the heart of Montparnasse. During World War II, Phillips returned to the United States and began working within the emerging literary and artistic circles of the New York School.[3]

Work

Phillips executed sculptures in bronze, stone and wood and produced intaglio prints. Her work is often non-figurative, however, she also worked with semi-abstract, anthropomorphic forms in both print and three-dimensional media.

Personal Life

Phillips met English printmaker Stanley William Hayter while studying engraving at Atelier 17 in Paris. The artists married in 1940 and separated in 1971.
