Silvio Mastrodascio’s Artworks

Silvio Mastrodascio (b. 1943) is an acclaimed painter and sculptor based in Toronto, Canada. His career, spanning more than 40 years, is devoted primarily to sculpture and the representation of the human body, especially the female figure. This is the first book entirely devoted to discussion of his art. With the exception of Michael Lettieri’s two chapters, previously published in edited collections, all of the writings presented here originated in exhibition catalogues found scattered around the globe. Exhibition catalogues are essential publications for the study and appreciation of art, yet they are notoriously difficult to locate and access; this is especially so in the case of Mastrodascio. Mining these resources, this volume gathers together and places at the reader’s disposal a wide variety of the most significant critical appraisals of Mastrodascio’s work.
