Morgan Russell (New York, 1886 – Philadelphia, 1953)
The modern American artist, Morgan Russel, together with Stanton Macdonald-Wright, founded the Synchromism, a provocative abstract mouvement and style of painting (1912 -1920s). Russell's "synchromies," analogized color to music and were a American contribution to the rise of Modernism. A great traveller, Morgan Russel returned to Paris in 1909, where he studied at Matisse’s art school, attended Gertrude Stein's salon, and met Picasso and Rodin.
It was in Paris that Russell met Stanton Macdonald-Wright, a fellow expatriate, in 1911, and soon after the two began developing theories about the primacy of color in the creation of a meaningful work of art. They were particularly interested in the theories of their teacher, Canadian painter Percyval Tudor-Hart: colors could be orchestrated in the same harmonious way that a composer arranges notes in a symphony.
