Edward E. Boccia (1921-2012) is a widely collected yet often overlooked American artist whose compelling pictorial language reveals a vision of universal experience, love, loss and suffering as well as a deep connection to literature, mythology and the canons of art history.
During his long career, Boccia developed a new genre of contemporary monumental panel painting that functioned as devotional art while raising questions about ethical, philosophical and stylistic problems in twentieth-century America. His bold paintings depict longing and desire, grief and spirituality while remaining deeply connected to the legacy of historical Italian art. In telling the story of an artist in the Italian diasporic community, this book expands the field of American art history, offering a close look at a complex body of work and a riveting life story.
