Color Palette• In this early work Gasparo created a composition that interweaves the human body and machine elements. He filled in some areas with opaque gouache while allowing the white paper to remain exposed in other sections.
• During the period this was made, Gasparo was fascinated with machinery and had an optimistic view of the industrial age. Later in his career he turned away from urban and industrial subjects.
• One of several immigrant artists in the Onya La Tour Collection, Gasparo was born in Italy and came to the US in 1916. He studied at the National Academy of Design and met La Tour through the WPA.
