born Dec. 7, 1894, Philadelphia, Pa., U.S. died June 24, 1964, New York, N.Y. U.S. abstract painter. His father was a graphic artist who encouraged his interest in art. He studied in New York City with Robert Henri (1909-12), made drawings for the periodical The Masses, associated with the Ash Can school, and exhibited in the Armory Show. A visit to Paris in 1928-29 inspired his own version of Cubism; he began rearranging natural forms from everyday life into flat posterlike patterns with sharp outlines and contrasting colours the dissonant colours and repetitive rhythms reflecting his interest in jazz in a style that eventually led to totally abstract patterns. He is considered the outstanding U.S. artist who worked in the Cubist style
