| Anne Graile Helioff (1910 – 2001)
Anne Graile Helioff, although born in Liverpool, England, became a
naturalized citizen of the United States. She studied at the Art
Students League in New York with, and was a contemporary of, renowned
artists Homer Boss (1882 – 1956) and Yasuo Kuniyoshi (1893 –
1953). She worked as an apprentice, student and eventually
contemporary to Kuniyoshi during his tenure with the Woodstock Art
Association at Woodstock, New York. Her work was greatly
influenced by her close friendship and tutelage under both of these
artists.
Helioff held the positions of Secretary and later President of the
Woodstock Artist Association, Director of the American Society of
Contemporary Artists, and Director of the New York Society of American
Women Artists.
She exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia;
the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; the Philadelphia Museum;
the Berkshire Museum; plus many other group and one-man shows in
addition to winning numerous awards.
