Ed Garman (Bridgeport, Connecticut, 1914 - Imperial Beach, California, 2004] grew up in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania. Garman joined the Transcendental Painting Group in 1941, several years after the group's formation. In contrast to Raymond Jonson, who worked intuitively, Garman conceived his paintings in intellectual terms, using geometries, rather than sinuous, rhythmic forms as the structural basis for his work.
