Joseph Stefanelli
E.H. Abstract

1996

About the Item

A work of art by a notable second generation abstract expressionist Joseph Stefanelli. Joseph Stefanelli’s art, rooted in academic training as well as inspired by the modern artistic movement, is bold and expansive. His colors are lush and his compositions are full of cultural heritage, vivid emotion, and fluidity. The traditional underpinnings of a good draftsman are put to test in his work. Stefanelli successfully creates abstract narratives that are able to transform the obvious into extraordinary. "E.H. Abstract" is reminiscent of a vintage radio exploding on the canvas. The color palette is energetic and boisterous. The orange resembles flicks of flame. A cloud in the shape of a flower further supports the idea of an unexpected blast occurring. Stefanelli’s work found its way into the exhibitions alongside such big names as de Kooning, Motherwell, Frankenthaler. He exhibited in the early 40’s through the 60’s in numerous galleries, including New Gallery, NYC, an exhibition juried by the famous Meyer Shapiro and Critic Clement Greenberg; The Poindexter Gallery, NYC; Denise Bibro Fine Art, NYC; Galerie Peter Baumler Regensberg, Germany; Olaf Clasen Gallery, Germany, as well as many University shows at Temple University, Italy; Princeton University, NJ; and The New School, NY. He exhibited and is in the collections of The Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC; The Museum of Modern Art, NYC; Albright-Knox Museum, Buffalo, NY; and The Walker Art Center, MN to name just a few.
