__Biography:__
He was born on May 23, 1910 in Pennsylvania. He studied at Boston University for 4 years and then the School Of Art, London for a year. He eventually settled in New York where he began his career as an artist by discovering a representational style of paintings. This then turned into some form of Cubism and Social Realism. He discovered himself as an Abstract artist and kept things fresh with his new interpretations and increasing use of color. He had a very successful career and showed the world a new side of art. He is known for his extreme simplicity and the elegance of his huge, carefully balanced masses shown in his paintings. He painted like this because he wanted to go against what other people had been painting in his time, such as still lifes and portraits. He wanted to make himself known for something different and thats why he became known as one of the "Rebel Painters of the 1950's." He died ten days before his 52 birthday on May 13 1962 in the city where he began his lifetime career and achievements.
