Joseph Stefanelli
Barnum’s Joy,

1992

About the Item

Stefanelli’s "Barnum’s Joy" is reminiscent of the joy, laughter, and peculiarity that the world famous showman and businessman P.T. Barnum brought to the world. The artist captures the spirit and character of P.T. Barnum and the wonder he offered and shared with people in this monumental work. Stefanelli anchors the composition with figurative elements such as anthropomorphic shapes in the middle and to the left of the canvas. The artist uses typography to brand the subject matter and to excite the viewer who may know of P.T. Barnum’s history. The composition is impactful, luscious, and as the title implies joyous.
