Originally from Rochester, the painter and writer Douglas Gorsline attended the Art Students League in New York City and taught at the National Academy of Design. He was profoundly influenced by the artistic styles of cubism and realism. He tended to use fragmented compositions as a means of depicting reality, in particular reality combined with movement.
