Walter Bowman Russell was an impressionist American painter , sculptor, natural philosopher, musician, author, and builder. The New York Herald Tribune called him "the modern Leonardo", a Renaissance man for the twentieth century. Although considered by some a polymath, Russell was not an academician.

He has left a legacy that centers around his unique Cosmogony, or concept of the universe, having spent many years writing about the nature of humankind's relationship to the Universal One and the degrees of consciousness.
