Early life, education and career

Born in San Felipe de Puerto Plata, Colson moved in 1918 to Spain where he studied art in Madrid and Barcelona. He lived in Paris from 1924 to 1934, where he was greatly influenced by Cubists. Primarily a figurative artist, Colson experimented with several different artistic styles, including Cubism, Surrealism, and Neoclassicism. His artistic friends included José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros and Diego Rivera. After a short but intense stay in Cuba, Colson developed a close friendship with Cuban painter Mario Carreño Morales. He subsequently went back to Europe, where he remained for ten years (1939–1949). After living a decade in Europe, he returned to Santo Domingo in 1950 and continued to teach.
