Commentary:
James Daugherty was associated with and inspired by the Synchromist work of
Morgan Russell and Stanton MacDonald-Wright early in the twentieth century.
From 1905 to 1907 Daugherty traveled in Europe and studied mural painting with
Frank Brangwyn at the London School of Art. Daugherty devoted the balance of
his career to mural painting, often on a grand scale. His murals and their related
studies are complex compositions of writhing figures in fragmented industrial
or rural landscapes. While his murals are often compared with those of Thomas
Hart Benton, it is Daugherty’s Synchromist sense of color which sets his
work clearly apart.
