  • August Mosca was born in Naples, Italy, and immigrated to the United States with his family in 1911. He studied art at Yale University, Pratt Institute, Grand Central School, and the Art Students. Mosca also traveled back to Italy as an adult to study the works of the Italian Renaissance. He was much influenced by Joseph Stella, who he met in the mid-30s, and who taught him silverpoint techniques. Mosca is known for images of New York, where he lived, painted, and taught for most of his life. He had numerous one-man shows and, in 1990, was given a 50-year retrospective at the Grand Central Gallery in New York. Mosca’s works can be found in the collections of the Library of Congress, the Grey Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Butler Institute of American Art, Library of Congress, U.S. State Department, and the New York Public Library, to name a few.
