Additional Details

We could find no birth date for Coleman. He had a one-man show at the Carl Ashby Gallery in New York in 1949 for which there exists an exhibit brochure. After this successful New York solo debut, Coleman seems to have vanished into thin air. Perhaps a draftee for the Korean War?
