Readio was active/lived in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. He earned his B.A. at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, and studied under Arthur Watson Sparks and A.V. Churchill. He went on to become a member of the facultly and was founder of American Industrial Design Department. There, he was also on the faculty in the Department of Painting and Design. This department was renamed the Department of Pictorial Design in 1944 and Wilfred Readio was appointed the Acting Chairman of the faculty. As the Academic Drawing teacher, Andy Warhol was one of his students. Worhol used blotting technique. The fact remains, however, that Warhol was familiar with this technique due to his Carnegie Tech professors - Wilfred Readio and Robert Lepper - who taught blotting to their students for the illustration of poems and short stories. In addition to teaching at Carnegie Institute of Technology, Readio taught in the Pittsburgh public schools, Latrobe, PA HIgh School, and Pennsylvania State College. Wilfred A.Readio was known as a painter, a lithographer and an educator and specialised in scenes of Pittsburgh and the American West.

Wilfred A. Readio
Wilfred A. Readio was a noted painter, lithographer and educator who was active and lived in Pennsylvania, Colorado and Massachusetts. He received his education from Carnegie Institute of Technology, where he studied under Arthur Watson Sparks and A.V. Churchill. He eventually became a member of the faculty and was the founder of the "American Industrial Design Department" — which was renamed the "Department of Pictorial Design" in 1944 — where for a short time he was the acting head of the faculty. He taught drawing and lithography classes, and one of his famous pupils was Andy Warhol. Readio was known for his scenes of Pittsburgh and Colorado. In the 1930s through 1960s, he regularly spent summers in Colorado, where he owned a home. Much of his work during this time was dedicated to producing images of the local Colorado landscape and mining towns of the San Juan Mountains and vicinity. He died in 1961.
