Stanton Macdonald-Wright was an American modernist painter and theorist who pioneered Synchromism, an abstract movement developed in the early 1910s emphasizing the analogous relationship between color and musical harmony. Working primarily in oil, he created compositions of interlocking planes and prismatic hues intended to evoke pure aesthetic sensation without representational content. His contributions to American abstract art and his writings on color theory significantly influenced the development of non-objective painting in the twentieth century.
