Leo Russell was born in Chicago in 1917. In 1929, his family moved to New York City. Russell was enrolled in the school of allied arts and later attended Textile High School, where he gained skill in Carpentry, drafting, sculpture and metalwork. After finishing high school Leo studied painting restoration at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He taught arts and crafts through the WPA program at several New York City locations. When the WPA arts project was suspended, he devoted himself full-time to painting, graphics, and teaching. Russell was among those showing in a Group Show at the Guggenheim Museum with Mondrian, Calder and many abstract artists from Europe and America.
