His mother Elizabeth Sage Goodwin was a collector friends with Brancusi and Duchamp and one of the backers of the 1913 Armory Show. When Hare was 10 the family relocated to the Southwest and he grew up in Santa Fe and Colorado Springs. After studying biology and chemistry at Bard he dropped out and founded a commercial photography studio specializing in Kodak's new color dye transfer process in Roxbury Connecticut in 1937. There he met Arshile Gorky Alexander Calder and Yves Tanguy who was married to his cousin Kay Sage and began experimenting with automotatist techniques to create surrealist photographs on the side. He was sent on assignment by the Museum of Natural History to take portraits of the "village" Indians in New Mexico eventually publishing the limited portfolio Pueblo Indians of New Mexico As They Are Today twenty color photos that combined ethnography studio portraiture and surrealist phenomenology. Editor of Duchamp's magazine VVV and a contributor to Sartre's Le Temps Moderne Hare was a pivotal figure in the American phase of surrealism and in the words of Clement Greenberg one of the two preeminent sculptors of nascent Abstract-Expressionism. That he began as a photographer and not as did so many of his peers as a draughtsman and how this may have effected his mature art has not been explored. unknown
