Anthony Angarola
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anthony Angarola (1893-1929[1]) was an American painter[2] and art instructor. He graduated from the School of the Art Institute in Chicago. Since he was an Italian immigrant himself, his work focused on people who struggled to adapt to a foreign culture.[1]
Angarola taught as an art instructor at the Layton School of Art in Milwaukee in 1921, the Minneapolis School of Art from 1922 to 1925, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1926 and the Kansas City Art Institute from 1926.[1]
He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1928.[3]
[edit] H.P. Lovecraft
Angarola is also notable as one of the favorite artists of the horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft made a reference to the works of Angarola in his short story The Call of Cthulhu and did the same in Pickman's Model.[4]
