Victor Joseph Gatto Untitled “Fan Dancer” oil 4 x 2.5 inches
“Whenever Gatto begins a painting, the color scheme is clear in his mind. If his eyes start smarting, he puts on his steel-rimmed glasses bought in the five and ten. He paints with the thinnest of brushes, some of them having no more than twenty hairs so that, as a rule, even his smallest canvas represents an enormous amount of physical application.” Harry Salpeter Esquire Magazine May 1946. Everyone from Degas to Peter Max painted a fan dancer. Here's Joe's, a former boxer and "The American Primitive".
