''ALFRED RUSSELL: Artist, teacher and writer Alfred Russell, a student in Stanley William Hayter’s Atelier 17, gained notice as part of the abstract movement that blossomed in New York in the late 1940s. Russell was featured in important shows at the Peridot Gallery in Paris, the controversial 1951 “Vehemences Confrontees” show at Galerie Nina Dausset, where works by three American painters (Pollock, de Kooning and Russell) were shown alongside European works, MoMA’s 1951 abstract painting and sculpture show, and seven Whitney Annuals (1949-55). In the 1950’s, Russell set abstraction aside, and embraced a classically-informed figurative mode of painting. He taught at Brooklyn College until 1973, and continued to paint and draw in a wide range of figurative and abstract styles until his death in 2007. Russell is represented in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum, Brooklyn Museum, and Detroit Museum. Russell’s works have been rarely shown since the early 1970s. ''

too bad he pi$$$ed off a jewish gay art critic just as his work was getting known
by telling him the gays and jews had too much control of the art sales
