Michelle Cascella: Timeless Painter – Un Pittore Senza Tempo

Exhibit guide from Michelle Cascella: Timeless Painter – Un Pittore Senza Tempo, an original exhibition created by the Museo Italo Americano and on exhibit from February 25 through May 5, 2011.

Born in Ortona, Italy, Michele Cascella (1892–1989) was a painter, ceramist and lithographer who spent much of his time throughout the 1960s and 1970s in Palo Alto, California. Cascella’s artistry was exquisite, concentrating mostly on portraits and landscapes. He used various media in his designs such as oils, watercolor, pencil, pen and ink, and textiles. Un Pittore Senza Tempo was a retrospective of this prolific artist’s career and was the first exhibition of his works in the United States in more than 30 years.
