Saratoga Springs, NY - Henry R. Clauser, passed away Monday (March 14, 2010) at the Wesley Health Care Center, Lawrence Street. He was 92. Henry ("Hank") grew up in Allentown, PA, the second of five children and received a Bachelor of Science from the University of Michigan. He served as a First Lieutenant in the US Army during World War Two, stationed at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. He and his wife of 63 years, the former Charlotte Herbert, were married December 7, 1942 in New York City and they spent many years living in Hartsdale, NY and later in Armonk, NY. For thirty years he was the editor and publisher of Materials Engineering for Reinhold Publishing. After retirement at age 55, Hank was a Materials Consultant to government (including NASA) and industry. A Fellow of the American Association of the Advancement of Science, he served on the National Materials Advisory Board and was a frequent participant in national committees of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the American Society of Testing & Materials. He was chairman of the American Business Press, editorial division. He also published articles on materials processes and design engineering in such journals as Scientific American, Mechanical Engineering, Iron Age, the Harvard Business Review, Progressive Architecture, and Materials Engineering. He authored several books including: Industrial and Engineering Materials, Materials Handbook, and Practical Radiography for Industry. In his seventies, Hank combined his knowledge of math and science with his love of art and began painting. From 1987 to 1992, he was a research associate in computer graphics and visual art at the State University of New York, Purchase, NY. In 1981, he collaborated with the Computer Graphics Group at General Electrics Research Center in a slide presentation articulating the composition of two of his paintings. Since then, he produced four computer-programmed paintings compositions (animations) as first steps in search of a dynamic imaging system that emulates the fluid structure, rhythm and harmony of music. His paper related to this work, Towards a Dynamic, Generative Computer Art, was published in the Leonardo journal. His works have been exhibited widely, including the Neuberger Museum, Purchase, NY, (a one person show); the Field Museum, Guilford, CT. His paintings are also in a number of private, corporate and institutional collections, including the United Engineering Building, General Electric Company, Philip Morris, and Bristol Myers. In 1992, the Industrial Research Institute commissioned him to do a painting for their annual Achievement Award.
