Joseph P. Gualtieri

As an art historian, I wish I had met him and been able to interview him about his works. I hope his family will contact me to discuss.

I remember Joe Gualtieri well and his wife Maria. My parents Robert & Connie Klein were best friends we visited Norwich Ct often. It was here that Joe treated us to grinders and lobsters at times. I inherited Joe's painting The Man, which I cherish to this day.

I had the great pleasure of being an art student at NFA, class of 1969. The caliber of that program, for a high school, at least at that time, was unparalleled, and teachers like Mr. Gaultieri set the standards. That was a great place to learn and had a great environment. I loved the museum. He was a wonderful man.

I was a student of Mr. Gualitieri from 1963 to 1965. He was a superb Artist and Teacher of Art, who encouraged my creativity to emerge and shine. He was a gentle and kind soul and I have never forgotten him. I am so grateful he came into my life for this short amount of time. He made an impression on me that has lasted a lifetime. I send my sincere condolences to his family.

It was Joe Gualtieri's painting classroom where I spent many of my best days at NFA. Now it's the Native American Art gallery at NFA's Slater Museum.

As Joe Gualtieri's niece I had the opportunity to enjoy his wonderful sense of humor and great cooking, and as a student of his while at NFA, benefitted from his immense knowledge of art. Sonja Faulkner Johnston
