Concetta Maria Scaravaglione (1900 – 1975) was an American Sculptor. Biography
Concetta Scaravaglione (*) Scaravaglione was born in New York in 1900 to a recently arrived Italian American family. She was the youngest of nine and because of that she was allowed to take up the unusual ambition for her family of becoming an artist. She attended free classes although she was sent home from one class because there was only one girl who wanted to attend.[1] She worked by day and studied in the evenings at the Art Students League. She won the Prix de Rome which funded her education at the American Academy in Italy.[2] She taught and developed her work which became more abstract. She taught at the New York University, Black Mountain College, Sarah Lawrence College and Vassar College.[2] Scaravaglione died in New York. There is a sculpure of her at the Smithsonian by Eugenie Gershoy.[2] References 1. ^ "Italian American Woman Artists p.4 from American Artists of Italian Heritage, 1776–1945, A Biographical Dictionary, Fairleigh Dickinson Press, 1993, Regina Soria).".
