After studying at Stanford and Berkeley, he was awarded his doctorate in 1947 in Berkeley. From 1946 until his retirement in 1978 he taught at the University of California, Berkeley.

Beazley Corinthian pottery individual ' hands' to tangible individual artists, which he decorated with Notnamen because hardly any of them signed.
