Narcissus Robert Quagliata Abstract Paintings
Italian, American, b. 1942
An Italian and US citizen, Narcissus Quagliata (Italian-American, b. 1942) was born in Rome, Italy, in 1942, where he studied painting with the metaphysical painter Georgio De Chirico. At the age of 19, Narcissus moved to the United States and studied at the San Francisco Art Institute (under two founding members of the Bay Area figurative school of painting, Elmer Bischoff and Richard Diebenkorn) receiving both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in painting and graphics. After graduating with a BFA and MFA in painting, he spent four years in a studio he built himself in what is now a National Wilderness Area on the coastal mountain range of Northern California. In that studio he made the unique artistic decision to use glass rather than canvas to capture the reality of light itself.
His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institute, Washington DC.; Yokohama City Museum of Modern Art, Japan; Oakland Museum, California; Corning Museum of Glass, New York; and Glasmalerei-Museum Izu Kogen, Shizuoka-Ken, Japan.
Building commissions include the Public Library of Gainesville, Florida; Synagogue Acapulco Seventy, Mexico City; and in California, Oakland’s Alice Art Center, the Charles Schwab Building in San Francisco, City of San Leandro Civic Center, and Oakland’s Pacific Bell Building.
He resides and has studios in Mexico and Taiwan.to

"Rainy Day Morning Scape" Contemporary Abstract Figurative Original Oil Painting
A unique contemporary figurative abstract on oval shaped canvas by Narcissus Robert Quagliata (Italian-American, b. 1942). The subject, a close-up of a figure lying in bed with their curled fingers in front of their face, is depicted as if the viewer is looking through the lens of a camera and taking a snapshot of a moment in time. The artist utilizes an interesting perspective and varying degrees of focus to achieve this effect, as the surrounding patterned bed...
