| Painter, born in New York City, USA. He moved to Paris in 1906 and studied briefly with Matisse. In 1912 he and the US painter Stanton McDonald-Wright (1890–1973) developed the theory of Synchromist colour, in which colour was given precedence over descriptive form. One of his best-known works in this genre is ‘Synchromy in Orange: To Form’ (1913–14). From 1920 he reverted to figurative painting. |
