Leonard Bocour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leonard Bocour (born 1910, New York City) was the co-developer along with Sam Golden of Magna paint. In 1936 he and Sam Golden formed the New York City based company Bocour Artists Colors. The company sold artist paints from the late 1930s until the nineties. Many well known artists from Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning to Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland and hundreds of others bought paint from Leonard Bocour. The tubes of paint marked Bocour were watercolor or oil paint and the tubes labeled Bellini were oil paint. The acrylic paint was thick bodied and called Aquatec.
