Portrait by Norma Holt
Gioco Metafisico by Leo Manso
Leo Manso was one of the most important and influential artists and teachers of his generation. His work was widely exhibited and collected throughout his distinguished career. Today, his work is in the permanent collections of numerous public and private institutions, including: The Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Hirshhorn Museum, The Corcoran Gallery of Art, The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and The National Academy of Design, among others.
Regarding Manso's collages Robert Motherwell said it best: "One of
collage's masters during the past decade is Leo Manso, whose impeccable
sense of placement and musical silence amidst a noisy world calls up the
Quattrocento of Manso's beloved Italy, if not its grandeur. Manso's work
is small in scale, secular and intimate in its subjects, but no less implacable
in its ethical integrity, its aesthetic of formed sensuousness. Seductively
beautiful as the work is at first sight, it holds its own like iron, a
visual poetry that never compromises, never loses its inner life." [ACME Gallery]
