Biography
Born July 18, 1887 in Springfield, Ohio (according to other sources - in 1881 [1] ).
He grew up in his parents' house in Indiana, where they moved. His father, Cassius M. Coleman , worked for an Indianapolis newspaper; mother - Minnie Odem Coleman , was a pianist and singer. Glenn's life proceeded in the industrial part of the city, so urban landscapes became the object of his work in the future.
Studied at Industrial Training School . His classmates were illustrator Walter Jack Duncan (1881-1941), illustrator and writer Robert Cortes Holliday (1880-1947), artist Robert J. Wildhack (1881-1940), artist and teacher Harry E. Wood (1879-1958). Without completing the school curriculum, Colman was forced to earn a living on his own. In 1901 he was listed as an illustrator of Indianapolis Press , worked as a student of the artist. In 1905 he went to New York , where, in order to survive, he was engaged in any suitable work.

In New York, he entered into an association with other artists, known as the Trash Bin School . In 1909, The Craftsman publishing house released reproductions of Coleman titled Undercurrents of New York Life .
