Drawing by Remo Barone

Remo Barone was born in Italy in 1937. The son of an ornamental iron worker, he took classes in design as a young man and developed a love of the Renaissance masters. He lived for several years in Rome soaking up the work of Michelangelo, Leonardo and others, before moving to the U.S. in 1955. Here he went to work with his father at Florentine Craftsmen, a well known wrought iron design company in Manhattan, and learned his craft from the artists there.

Many years later, after moving to Rockland, Barone returned to his true love - working with the pencil. His pencil drawings are detailed representations of local people and places, focusing in this show on the Piermont area.
