		Uncompromisingly original, fierce in his passions, diverse in his interests and decades ahead of his time, American painter Stanton Macdonald-Wright (18901973) (Stanton Macdonald-Wright and Synchromism: Chronology) was a true pioneer of American and international modernism and one of the most fascinating artists of the 20th century.
		In his own painting, Macdonald-Wright in his last decades revisited Synchromism, incorporating Eastern philosophy and a deep understanding of Japanese and Chinese art; in fact, his poetic synthesis of East and West marks him as a prophet of a global culture.
		This fascination with Oriental art and philosophy was already evident in the 1920s and early 1930s in such superb landscapes as "Chinese Valley Synchromy" and in the incomparable nude "Yin Synchromy No. 3", both of which are in the exhibition.

		Convinced that color and sound were equivalent, he wanted to “orchestrate” the colors of a painting the way a composer arranges notes and chords in a musical composition.
		But his most decisive meeting was with Stanton MacDonald Wright with whom he founded the movement known as ‘Synchromism.’ Russell’s Synchromie en Vert at the Salon des Indépendants in 1913 was the first Synchromist work to be shown; Synchromist exhibitions followed in the same year in Munich, New York and Paris.
		Back in France he shortly lost interest in Synchromism, adopting a classical and it must be said conventional figurative style.

		Among these documents are letters from the renowned French poet-critics Guillaume Apollinaire and Blaise Cendrars, as well as the connoisseur and pioneering collector of modern art, Leo Stein.
