Julio Granda

I met Julio in the early 1980s when he was teaching at BCC and I was art critic for the Berkshire Eagle. I enjoyed his outsize personality, the group he gathered around him at the Central Block and, of course, his artwork.

I was very saddened to hear of Julio's passing.My deepest sympathy and condolences to his family. I wish I could have met him and share what joy his artwork brings to me . I have 4 related pieces from the 70's that I see something new in each day.....Thank you Julio for your wonderful vision and gifts to the world of visual art.

Kari, sorry to learn of your dad's passing. I have fond high school/college memories of when you lived on Bartlett Ave.

Condolences to Julio's family. I have fond memories of his painting classes at BCC.

One of Julio´s beautiful paintings graces our dining room wall. I´ll always remember his warm smile, that twinkle in his eye, and his generosity. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Wonderfull memories of Julio´s classes at BCC. His smile and humor lasting for decades.

My Condolences to Julio's family. We lived next door to Julio in Pittsfield. Julio gifted my son's two beautiful prints that he did. They are hanging up in TX. now. I have a lovely jade plant he gave to me before he moved. He was a wonderful man.

Every room in our house boasts the extraordinary art of Julio´s wonderful eye. His warmth and wisdom had no bounds and he fills our lives with beauty and fresh insight each day. How lucky we are to have had this friendship!

My condolences to his family. Please keep me informed for the memorial service. I met Julio initially at BCC in the early 1980s ... And continue to watch his artistry develop and and his continual support and contacts with students.
