“Though I knew my father in a way many never could, I am still amazed that the son of an immigrant iceman who worked in New York City with a horse and wagon and a turn-of-the-century seamstress who became radicalized on the factory floor emerged from a Little Italy tenement to become an artist many consider to be America’s most articulate self-taught painter. His canvases capture the anguish of his lifetime and they bolster us with his visionary dream for our future.”
As a steward of my father’s legacy I work with museums.co to offer archival quality reproductions of many of my father’s paintings as well as posters from the America’s Labor Heritage series.
Image use as well as reproduction rights and a comprehensive collection of the highest quality, color corrected digital images of my fathers artwork are also available through museums.co
Copies of the book I wrote about my father Ralph Fasanella: Images of Optimism can also be purchased through museums.co.
Original oil paintings, studies, and drawings from the Ralph Fasanella estate collection are available through Hill Gallery in Birmingham Michigan.

These paintings, and Marc’s book about them, are as prophetic of resurgent needs... as they are evocative of New York in the past.
