1894-1964. US abstract painter. He used
hard-edged geometric shapes in primary
colours and experimented with collage. Much
of his work shows the influence of jazz
tempos. In the 1920s he produced paintings of
commercial packaging, such as Lucky Strike
1921 (Museum of Modern Art, New York), that
foreshadow Pop art. His early abstracts
reflect the impact of Cubism, and he was
deeply influenced by the Armory Show in New
York 1913. He often used numbers or letters
as the focus for his compositions.
