      After studying under Robert Henri in New York City, Russell moved to Paris in 1906 and lived there for 40 years. In 1913–14 he and Stanton Macdonald-Wright (Macdonald-Wright, Stanton) established Synchromism (q.v.) as an avant-garde movement, issuing manifestos and exhibiting together in Munich, Paris, and New York City. Russell called his paintings “synchromies” to describe his reliance on colour for spatial and emotional depth. He was among the first American painters to pursue scientific colour theory for artistic expression.
