American, 1904-1984.
Louis Porter's art was highly evolved, spiritual, and prolific. His mature abstractions of the 1960's & 1970's show the influence of Vaclav Vytlachyll, one of his instructors ca.1928 at The Art Students League. Using extreme color Porter's compositions give a nod to the organic forms of modernists such as Arthur Dove, Vytlachyll and Kimon Nicolaiedes another of Porter's instrctors at the League. Nicholaides dogmatic theories on the possibilities modernism and mysticism inspired Porter to seek a type of art with a moral and spritual purpose.
Between 1939 to 1948 Porter had exhibitions at The Denver Art Museum, The Silvermine Guild, in Connecticut, and Norlyst Gallery in New York. In 1969 and 1972 he had solo exhibitions at Drian Gallery in London. His work is in the collection of The Denver Art Museum, The Phillips Collection, Washington, DC; and The National Museum, Gdansk.
Porter wrote two books: "Extending our Vision: God is The Infinite", Carlton Press, New York; and "Road to Damascus" his autobiography, and recieved critically favorable reviews for several of his London exhibitions.
