Joseph DiStefano
This c. 1970's acrylic on wood scene is by New York and long-time Emeryville painter, sculptor and educator Joseph DiStefano (1940-2020). A prolific and highly-varied artist, he was known for merging neo-classical forms, bold brushwork and symbolic imagery. His paintings bring to mind the work of Robert Rauschenberg, Jackson Pollock and Gerhard Richter. He earned his BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology and an MFA from Yale University’s School of Art and Architecture. DiStefano taught woodworking and advanced sculpture at leading institutions including Virginia Commonwealth University, the California College of Arts and Crafts, and the University of California, Berkeley. His work was featured in solo exhibitions at venues such as Museo Italiano in San Francisco, the Mackler Gallery in Philadelphia, and the Pro Arts Gallery in Oakland. DiStefano's art has been acquired by a range of public and private collectors, including the Eastman Kodak Corporation, the State of California, and the City of Emeryville.
