| biography:
| Painter, born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. Following army service (1943–6), he worked as a graphic designer, and in 1949 moved to New York City. In the 1950s he produced bold landscapes, but from 1960 made detailed studies of the male and female nude. His work emphasizes the impersonal aspect of the subject, often omitting the head of his model to concentrate on an unidealized representation of the naked body. |
