Manner of Leonard Nelson: Abstract
Leonard Nelson (American, 1912-1993) Manner of: Abstract. Oil on canvas, signed lower right, framed.

A school of art has been born in Philadelphia, aptly called The Philadelphia School. This is not a school of education but a fine-arts movement led by a group of gifted Center City artists. The group's work is defined by tonal, atmospheric, and perceptual qualities suggesting landscape. The leader of this movement was Leonard Nelson.

Through the 1950s and 1960s, Nelson would perfect his vision of landscape color field. Historically, the aesthetic of the color-field style is indigenous to Philadelphia. Its inspiration appears drawn from Mark Rothko's field paintings and bands of color. (The genre of color field followed, and in some cases overlapped, abstract expressionism.) Manner of Nelson taught at the Moore College of Art for thirty years.
