Born in Detroit, Michigan in 1928, Riddle began his artistic journey in a small studio, where he honed his craft and developed his signature style. His works were characterized by their masterful use of light, texture, and contrast, which gave them a sense of depth and emotion that few other artists could match. Throughout his career, Riddle drew upon his experiences as a veteran of World War II, creating works that were both emotive and thought-provoking. His paintings often explored themes of war, loss, and the human condition, and he was known for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with remarkable accuracy and sensitivity. In the 1960s and 70s, Riddle's works gained widespread recognition and critical acclaim, and he was soon regarded as one of the greatest American painters of the 20th century.
