Richard Lazzaro has been a prominent advocate for abstract painting for more than 50 years as an artist and educator. Over the years his experimentation in painting moved away from the reference of the visible world to an exploration of flat space, movement, color direct painting and the use of nonspecific imagery.
His work has been included in several invitational exhibitions in museums, art centers and galleries throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia and South America.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Lazzaro studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art, received his BFA (1961) from Kent State University, and MFA from the University of Illinois. He is an Emeritus Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1963-2001.
