Comentarios: Born in December 25, 1884, in Russia, he immigrated to the USA c.1890. He lived in Paris for 10 years, on and off, beginning in 1902, and while there became a friend of Delaunay. Halpert's Paris work shows the influence of Cezanne and the French avant-garde. He returned to New York in 1912, an advocate of modernism. His wife, Edith, was founder of the Downtown Gallery, but owing to their rocky marriage she never promoted his work after his first show at her influential gallery in 1928. Position: teacher, Art School, Soc. Arts & Crafts.
