American painter. Born in Wisconsin. Studied at the Art Institute of Chicago. Converted to Baha'i Faith in 1918. In 1923 he began studying Chinese ink painting, and in 1934 studied Zen in China and Japan. Based on his unique view of the universe, he produced abstract paintings using white paint in what he called "white writing," in which thin lines reminiscent of calligraphy move freely through space. He also influenced Abstract Expressionist artists. One of his representative works is Cosmos (1949, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York).
