| biography:
| Painter, born in New York City, New York, USA. He studied at the Art Students League with Robert Henri (1919–21) and John Sloan (1923–4) and was a co-founder of the New York City-based avant-garde group, the Ten (1935–40). By 1941 he was painting compartmentalized canvases containing symbolic animal and plant forms, called pictographs, as seen in ‘Dream’ (1948). His later work favoured cosmic bursts of colour, as in ‘Chrome’ (1965). |
