Richard Haas b. 1936, is an iconic American painter and printmaker known for his troupe l'oeil style architectural murals. He grew up in Spring Green, Wisconsin, not far from Taliesin, Frank Lloyd Wright's estate. His early exposure to the masterful architecture proved to be an enormous influence on his artistic interests. Richard Haas received a B.S. degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a M.F.A. from the University of Minnesota before moving to New York City. He taught printmaking courses at Bennington College in Vermont for ten years before he decided to pursue a full-time career painting murals. Since 1979, he has painted over 120 murals, many of which were commissioned, including the former Board of Education building in Brooklyn, the Boston Architectural Center, Chase Field, Edison Brothers Store Inc. in St. Louis, the Federal Building and Courthouse in Kansas City, and the main branch of the New York Public Library.
