The artist Terry Haass fled the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia during World War II, settling in New York in 1941.
Test Proof is typical of Terry Haass’s early work at the New York print workshop founded by Stanley William Hayter, Atelier 17. She combined three different print techniques to create a combination of hard edges and emerging and disappearing forms.
