Stefano Cusumano cubist oil painting

About the Item

A wonderful oil on canvas by the noted ny artist Stefano Cusumano (1912-1975). It is signed along the base. A biography from askart follows Stefano Cusumano (1912-1975) was an emerging painter in the first part of the 20th century at a time when pivotal changes were occurring in the visual arts. He rebelled against the Abstract Expressionist Movement of the time, and now that the art world’s aesthetic pendulum swings back towards a more representational subject matter the relevance and importance of Cusumano’s work may finally be realized. Stefano Cusumano’s paintings and drawings are a part of the permanent collections of museums The National Gallery, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Pensacola Art Museum and The Tweed Museum of Art. Stefano Cusumano, a first generation Italian American, was born in 1912 in Tampa, Florida. As a teenager he moved with his family to New York City where he enrolled in classes at Cooper Union and the Metropolitan Art School for a period of four years. After this point Cusumano was essentially a self-taught artist. In 1942 he began exhibiting his work at the Montross Gallery following in 1946-1950 at the George Binet Gallery and from 1953 through 1959 at the Passedoit Galley, all in New York City. He was affiliated with the Terry Dintinfass Gallery in NYC from 1967-1969 and continued to paint and exhibit his work until his death in 1975. He was also an adjunct faculty member of New York University from 1951-1974 and Cooper Union from 1955-1974.
