Leon Schulman Gaspard (2 March 1882 - 21 February 1964) was a Russian-born painter, known for his paintings of indigenous cultures and folk traditions.
He tended to paint scenes with throngs of people, and his favorite locations were in small towns in Russia, Asia, and the Taos Valley.
He spent his youth in Russia and later studied in Paris, where he became a well-respected painter.
He moved with his wife, American ballerina Evelyn Adell, to the United States.
They eventually settled in Taos, New Mexico, though he continued to devote much of his time to traveling to paint in remote locations.
