Nadler (1930-1990) was raised in East Los Angeles and arrived in New York in 1962 to pursue a career as an artist. His work is primarily abstract and his influences ranged from Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) to Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1933). Nadler exhibited widely throughout the 1960s to 1980s and taught fine art in New York, Connecticut and New Mexico.
In 1987, he received a grant from the Israeli government to spend a month at Mishkenot Sha'nanim (Center for Humanities) in Jerusalem. This tenure led to his creation of several celebrated late career series, including this work from Return to Byzantium as well as the Jerusalem and Sightings series.
