He studied in France from 1907-1916, where he met artist Morgan Russell, with whom he developed a close working relationship and developed Synchromism. Macdonald-Wright returned to New York in 1916, and moved to Santa Monica in 1916, where he taught and exhibited widely. From 1935 to 1942 he served as director of the Works Progress Administration's Federal Art Project for Southern California, which was followed by a faculty position at UCLA and extended visits to Hawaii, Italy, and Japan. He died in 1973. Macdonald-Wright's brother, Willard Huntington Wright, was the author of Modern Painting: Its Tendency and Meaning (1915) and the Future of Painting (1923), turning later to mystery writing under the name S.S. Van Dine.
