He began his career designing costumes and sets for the theater in Paris. Engel moved to New York City in 1965 following a series of successful gallery exhibitions. His early work in Paris and New York was characteristic of his academic training and his subject matter was predominately figural and representational. He returned to Paris in 1975, and inspired by a flea market find of old sheet music, began incorporating collage in his compositions. He describes his own work as "abstract lyricism" in which he carefully composes line, color, texture and interwoven paper scraps. Nissan Engel's mixed media canvases and explorations in printmaking are represented by major galleries throughout the world. Theo Tobiasse, James Coignard, Nissan Engel, David Schneuer, Max Papart,have all exhibited with him. Engel's early influences include Picasso, Klee, Marini, Kandinsky, and other European expressionists, as well as the conceptual artists Oppenheim and Beuys. He also was influenced by the abstract expressionnists of the New York School, many of whom he knew and befriended while living in New York City.

Nuova Nascita
By Sandro Visca
Located in Surfside, FL
Sandro Visca, born in L'Aquila in 1944, has lived for many years in Pescara where from 1968 to 2003 he has taught Painting Disciplines at the Academy Section of the "G. Misticoni "(and among his many students, we remember at least the explosive talent of Andrea Pazienza). He made his debut early in important exhibitions, and already in '62 he was selected for the National Design Biennial "Premio Recoaro Terme" together with artists such as Casorati, Capogrossi, Morandi and Guttuso. In 1963 he moved to Rome where he lived until 1967. Versatile and busy, he collaborated in those years with the important seasons of the Teatro Stabile dell'Aquila, realizing in 1969 the scenes of Alberto Burri for "The Adventure of a Poor Christian" by Ignazio Silone (directed by Valerio Zurlini). The meeting with Burri grows to friendship, human association no less than artistic. Together they will spend numerous hunting trips, among the Umbria of the master of Città di Castello and their arcane mountains of Abruzzo. In 1973 he was invited with a work of six meters, in the Italian section "The empty space of the Habitat" of the XV International Triennial of Milan. Passionate frequentist of his mountains, together for love of hiker and science of anthropologist, he realizes in '75 a very particular performance, which is gesture, ritual, manifest, and at the same time medium-length: "A red heart on the Gran Sasso...
