Giuseppe Napoli (1929–1967) was an Italian-American artist based in New York, known for his abstract expressionist style that bridged both European and American artistic influences. Born in Italy, he moved to the United States where he became part of the vibrant New York art scene during the mid-20th century. Napoli's work was characterized by dynamic compositions, bold color use, and an emphasis on texture and form. His contributions to abstract art garnered attention in galleries, and his work is considered a significant part of the postwar American avant-garde movement. Despite his relatively short life, Napoli's work continues to be appreciated for its emotional depth and innovative approach to abstraction. #8951

Giuseppe Napoli Painting "Natura Morta Yogananda" 1962
Est: $600 - $900
**This is an oversized piece that may require special shipping. Please inquire for a quote prior to bidding. Giuseppe Napoli (American, 1929-1967). "Natura Morta Yogananda" oil on wood panel, 1962. Signed and dated on upper right. Signature, title, and date are hand-painted on the verso. A beautiful painting by Giuseppe Napoli depicting a still life that features a large teapot at the center flanked by an ensemble of vessels - a lidded sugar bowl, a tall drinking glass, and two wine bottles - through his modernist lens. Napoli explored both expressionistic representational as well as completely non-representational art. While this composition is certainly figurative, a close examination reveals Napoli's undeniable appreciation of form, color, and line which led to his sophisticated pursuit of nonrepresentational art and Abstract Expressionism. A very special piece rendered in an arresting palette - shades of mauve, strawberry red, sky blue, black and white - by mid-century New York School modernist, Giuseppe Napoli. Size: 11.5" L x 40.125" W (29.2 cm x 101.9 cm) Of note: The name "Yogananda" in the title of this piece likely refers to Paramahansa Yogananda (1893-1952) who was an Indian yogi and guru responsible for introducing the teachings of Kriya Yoga and meditation via the Self Realization Fellowship / Yogoda Satsanga Society of India. Yogananda lived in the United States for the last 32 years of his life and had a great influence on the American yoga movement, particularly in Los Angeles, California. Because of this, he was oftentimes referred to as the "Father of Yoga in the West." Giuseppe Napoli lived and worked in Greenwich Village during the 1950s and 1960s. He was an immensely talented contributor to the New York School. His oeuvre demonstrated innovative exploration of Modernist Representational style as well as Abstract Expressionism. Sadly, Napoli suffered from depression, and despite being featured in solo and group exhibitions, the artist had a difficult time sustaining his career. Tragically, his life was cut short by suicide in 1967.
