Stanton MacDonald Wright was an American artist who, along with Morgan Russell, helped develop Synchromism, an approach to art that was tangential to Cubism, that believed that color the central aspect to art. He was the California State Direct of the Federal Art Project from 1935-1942. He was also interested in East Asian history, culture, and philosophy. He lived in Kyoto, Japan and Santa Monica, California. (Robin K. Dunitz, Street Gallery, Guide to over 1000 Los Angeles Murals)
