LEONARD
NELSON
Leonard Nelson (1912-1993) had a career as a
prolific artist and influential art educator that spanned more than
half the twentieth century, from the thirties to the nineties, and
forged close links with the leading artists and movements of that
time in American art history.
Although he spent most of his life
in Philadelphia, his roots were in New York. His works were exhibited
in the forties and fifties at the Betty Parsons and Peridot Galleries,
and at Peggy Guggenheim's Art of This Century gallery.
