Hide Profile

Gordon Kelly was born in Wells County, Indiana in 1924. At the Art Students League of New York, Kelly was a promising portrait painter and a protege of Kenneth Hayes Miller. Kelly also studied with Reginald Marsh. Kelly helped Miller develop his (unpublished) manuscript "The Third Dimension in Painting" and Miller consistently encouraged Kelly and supported Kelly's teaching appointment at the League. Kelly returned to Indiana upon Miller's death in 1952, where he was "born again" and produced only "Christian art."
