Joseph Vogel
Joseph
Vogel
(1911-1995)
was
born
in
Poland
(then
Austria-Hungary),
and
moved
to
the
United
States
with
his
family
at
age
16.
He
studied
at
the
National
Academy
of
Design
in
New
York,
but
credits
his
real
art

and
growth
to
self-exploration
of
museums
and
art
associations.
Vogel
joined
the
Federal
Arts
Project
after
a

of

in
the
early
1930s.
While
there,
Vogel
was
surprised

find

of
subject

medium
within

job
considering
that
most
government-supported
arts
tended
to
be
rigidly
controlled
and
academic.
His
work
flourished
in
abstraction,
surrealism,
and
expressionism
covering

range
of
subjects
from
politics
to
sports.
