BIOGRAPHY:
A painter, sculptor, illustrator and educator, Anthony Triano has been a versatile and prolific artist. He is noted for his ability to embody the essence of humanity and nature upon large canvases, in terracotta sculptures and on jewel-like surfaces with monumentality.At the end of World War II, he enrolled at the Newark School of Fine Arts, where he studied under the GI Bill and became a friend and apprentice to the great sculptor Reuben Nakian. This affiliation presented an early sophistication and association with Jackson Pollack, Willem DeKooning, Franz Kline, Charles Egan and other dynamic personalities of the greatest art adventure of the 20th century.True to the legacy of this experience, Triano devoted his life to the study and development of a significantly universal style. His creations are constantly evolving in such series as: Each Day, The Wonders, Heaven and Earth, Geo, The Passions, A Sound of Angels, The Elegance of Women and The Olympians.His works have been exhibited in 37 one-man shows by galleries, corporations and museums, featured in publications and the subject of 12 television programs.His works are in private and public collections, including The Newark Museum, the Montclair Art Museum, the Lowe Museum in Coral Gables, the New York Lithographic Society, Abbott Laboratories, the Hartford Art Foundation, the Monmouth Historical Society, Johnson and Johnson, J.L. Hudson, House and Garden Magazine, Seton Hall University and Law School, the University of Alabama, William Paterson University, Wykeham Rise, the Golden Lemon on St. Kitts, the Library of Congress and Wuhan University in the People's Republic of China.In 1971 Triano was appointed artist-in-residence at Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey and became a full-time professor the following year. This position added a new dimension to his constant research, greatly increased his artistic powers and enabled him to extend his legacy to others.
