John Sennhauser (1907-1978) was born in Switzerland but was raised in Italy where he studied at the Royal Academy in Venice for two years and then in 1928, immigrated to the United States, first earning a living as an architectural draftsman. He studied at Cooper Union from 1930 to 1933, and then taught at the Leonardo da Vinci Art School from 1936 to 1942 followed by teaching at the Contemporary School of Art in New York. In the late 1930's he began expressing his strong leanings towards abstraction and described his inspiration as "the flowing of feeling through my body, into my arm . . .to my hand . . .and into my brush."
In 1943, he took a job at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, working for Hilla Rebay, who became director of the Guggenheim Museum. Sennhauser was known to belong to groups supporting non-objective painting. He was a member of the American Abstract Artists and the Federation of Modern Painters and Sculptors.
