Joseph Glasco was an American painter and printmaker whose postwar practice centered on abstraction and figuration in tension. Working primarily in oil and acrylic, his compositions combined gestural mark-making with recurring motifs drawn from landscape and the human form. Active from the mid-twentieth century through the 1990s, Glasco developed a distinctive visual language that resisted easy categorization within dominant postwar movements.
