Russell T. Gordon was an American painter and printmaker. Born in Philadelphia, he received his BFA from Temple University and his MFA from the University of Wisconsin. Gordon's works are reflective of his lived experience as an American black man, and his social, intellectual and moral development which came along with that identity. He held various academic positions throughout his life, most notably acting as a faculty member at Concordia University in Montreal until his retirement. He died in 2013, having sought and achieved in his art a freedom from the clichés of race and social standing.
