Exhibited: Society of Independent Artists.Biography from Setdart
Joseph A. Maturo was a prominent illustrator born in Italy who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples before emigrating to the United States in 1895. He remained faithful to his own realistic-poetic language and created an intimate portrait of a mother and her son using a marked, moving and thick brushstroke, and a vibrant colouring. Maturo was hired by the Fox Film Corp offices in New York in 1934 to design and create illustrations for film posters, a job that lasted after Fox merged with Twentieth Century, and which led Maturo to work assiduously, becoming one of the most important international film illustrators.
