He studied at the École des beaux-arts de Montréal and at the Copley Society of Artists in Boston. Giunta's major stages are: figuration from 1936 to 1958 (landscapes, still lifes and Canadian scenes), gestural abstraction from 1958 to 1975 (gesture, color, Fauvism), geometric or organic constructions from 1971 to 2001 (collage, construction and assemblage, three-dimensional works, mixed materials and media, multiple objects and chromatic contrasts). \"To live, isn't it continually taking up the beautiful challenge of changing, evolving, moving towards the unknown?\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 2001, a major exhibition of his works was held at the Maison de la culture Frontenac.

As a painter, he experienced great successes but also setbacks. His life was not a smooth ride. His painting was divided over time into different periods, the first of which was expressed around landscapes, especially urban ones. He advocated a rather academic style in his early years, but his way of presenting and framing his subjects already guided him towards modernity. Then, although always figurative, his approach favored working with crushed materials, and his palette also became more personal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the end of the 1950s, he plunged into non-figuration, where his gesture imposed the rhythm, but not without having retained a great interest in the structure of the painting. In the mid-1970s, he incorporated collage and enjoyed working with relief. His last period is one of the most interesting and accomplished, as if now all that matters to him is the pleasure of assembling and creating. Boldness becomes more and more present. He integrates objects, his works become something else. Neither really paintings, nor really sculptures, nor collages, they become constructions… They are quite simply Giunta. » Robert Bernier\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Quebec painter, Joseph Giunta's works of art are part of many public and private collections.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTO LEARN MORE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u003c\/strong\u003e.\u0026nbsp;\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Joseph_Giunta\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWIKIPEDIA - JOSEPH GIUNTA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u003cstrong\u003e.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jgiunta.com\/html\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJOSEPH GIUNTA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"joseph-giunta-automne-laurentides-24x30-po-60-96x76-2cm","title":"Joseph Giunta, Automne Laurentides 24×30 in \/ 60.96×76.2 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoseph Giunta, \u003c\/strong\u003eAutomne Laurentides\u0026nbsp;24×30 in \/ 60.96×76.2 cm is a striking oil on panel painting.
