Thelma Frazier Winter
American, 1905 - 1977
Thelma Frazier Winter (190?-1977) was an American artist and educator, known for her contributions to the development of fiber art in the United States. She was born in New York and studied at the Art Students League of New York and the National Academy of Design.
Winter was a pioneer in the field of fiber art, which at the time was not considered a fine art form. She was particularly interested in tapestry weaving and was one of the first American artists to explore this medium in a serious way.
Winter's tapestries were characterized by their bold, abstract designs and their use of vibrant, saturated colors. She experimented with a wide range of materials, including wool, silk, and cotton, and developed innovative techniques for creating complex patterns and textures.
In addition to her work as an artist, Winter was also a respected educator. She taught at several institutions throughout her career, including the New School for Social Research, the Art Students League, and the Rhode Island School of Design.
Today, Winter's work is represented in the collections of several major museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. She is considered one of the pioneers of the American fiber art movement and her contributions to the field continue to be celebrated and admired.
