Softcover. Condition: VG. Color illustrated wraps with black text. 7 unnumbered pages. Bw and color illustrations. "Ralph Fasanella's painting declares that a man true to himself is true to society. Like any painter of a high imaginative order, he creates a world. That world may derive from his vision of the way things are or ought to be; but is solidly rooted in personal experience. The experience would be less meaningful, it would not result in these vibrant images, if Ralph Fasanella did not contain multitudes. On a canvas he puts down his experience in talking with people, his experience with the life of the streets, his experience of his past, his experience of the vast and tumultuous sweep of a reality he incorporates in paint. Doing so, he never gives us the feeling of a solitary ego; Ralph Fasanella's pictures bring us back to an elemental sense of our shared humanity: he is an artist with whom one connects - and the connection between Ralph and his world is one of the most exciting in contemporary art.".…

A union co-worker suggested that he take up painting as a way to exercise his fingers and ease the pain. In 1945, Fasanella persuaded the UE to organize painting classes for its members at a local college. He was one of the first members to sign up for classes. Fasanella became consumed by art, and left labor union organizing to paint full-time. To pay the bills, he bought a service station and worked there. Fasanella's painting focused on city life, men and women at work, union meetings, strikes, sit-ins and baseball games. He quickly developed a style which spoke to workers and the poor through the use of familiar details. Fasanella improvised a quasi-surrealist style, depicting interiors and exteriors or past and future simultaneously. He painted canvases as big as 10 feet across because he envisioned his paintings hanging in large union meeting halls. 'I always felt embarrassed by the whole thing,' he said, 'but I had to do it.' Fasanella's art was highly improvisational. He never planned out works, and rarely revised them. He said of his 1948 painting May Day, it 'just came out of my belly. I never planned it. I don't know how I did it.' "--Wikipedia ; FINE/FINE. Book.…
