He studied at the Yale School of Fine Arts and in New York at the Art Students’ League and the Grand Central School of Art with George Luks. Together with a group of other artists he moved to Majorca in 1931; there, he married New Mexico born Jarvis Kerr. Moving to Paris in 1934, they met Stanley William Hayter and Mead began to work at Atelier 17.  In 1939, with the onset of World War II, the Meads left for Carlsbad, New Mexico where he spent the rest of his life. He continued to teach, paint and create prints and maintained a close connection with Atelier 17 in New York.” (Source) Click for high-res photo
