- Allan D'Arcangelo
- 1930-1998
Allan D'Arcangelo was born in Buffalo, New York. He earned a degree
in history from the University of Buffalo and then moved to Mexico City
where he studied art and, in 1958, had his first one-man show. His
style, loosely termed "hard edge" or constructivist art, is based on
spatial relationships. A keen sense of perception, complemented by
expert use of color tones and shadows, points up these relationships in
forceful compositions. It has been said that D'Arcangelo "has the
ability to defy, yet document, spatial relationships at the same time."
The recipient of fifteen awards and commissions, D 'Arcangelo has had
frequent one-man shows, many of which traveled to prominent museums
throughout America. His work appears in more than thirty public
collections, including those of the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim
Museum, and the Brooklyn Museum in New York, the Detroit Institute of
Art, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
