Howard Schleeter (1903-1976) was the son of a commercial artist who studied at the Albright Art School in Buffalo New York. He moved to New Mexico in 1929 and like many people, he struggled to make ends meet during the great depression. However, several WPA projects helped.
He painted mostly in abstraction as this painting shows.
I saw this painting at the Scottsdale Ferarri Art festival.
His work can be found in several galleries including the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
