On March 2, 1882 Leon Gaspard was born near Moscow, Russia.

His parents soon recognized his artistic talents.

Traveling with his father on the Siberian Steppes, he made many sketches.

Yehuda Pen, a Jewish-Belarusian artist was his mentor.

His studied art, along with his friend Marc Chagall, under Julius Penn in Vitebsk, Belarus.

He continued his studies in Odessa and at the Academy of Moscow.

He was a student of Ilya Repin at the Art School of Kazan.

Like Fechin, Repin taught him the heavy use of the pallette knife.

At the age of 17, he enrolled in the Julien Academy, working under Edouard Toudouze and William-Adolphe Bouguereau.

He attended Académie Julian for nearly eight years.

At this time his parents died.

He later exhibited at the Paris Salon.

He was also honored with a one man show, arranged by  George Petite.

George Petite, a director of Standard Oil sponsored a show of his drawings and purchased 35 of them.

In Paris in 1908, Gaspard met his future wife, Evelyn Adell.

They honeymooned by horseback in Siberia, where he created many drawings.

In 1914, during World War I, his French Aviation Corps plane crashed

 and he was severely injured, requiring him to spend two years in a French hospital.

In 1916 he moved to New York.

In 1918 he moved to Taos, partially in search of a drier, healthier climate.

In 1921 he traveled to Japan and Asia.

In 1924 he took up permanent residency in Taos.

Using Taos as his base, he traveled to China, Mongolia, Tibet, Morocco, and Northern Africa.
