Book condition rating 4.7/5 About book: During the great depression, Fasanella worked as a textile worker in garment factories and as a truck driver. He became a member of United Electrical, radio And Machine Workers of America (UE) Local 1227 while working as a machinist in Brooklyn. He became strongly aware of the groDwing economic and social injustice in the U.S., as well as the plight and powerlessness of the working class. In the mid-1940s, Fasanella began to suffer from intense finger pain caused by arthritis. A union co-worker suggested that he take up painting as a way to exercise his fingers and ease the pain. In 1945, Fasanella persuaded the UE to organize painting classes for its members at a local college. He was one of the first members to sign up for classes. Fasanella became consumed by art, and left labor union organizing to paint full-time. To pay the bills, he bought a service station and worked there.Fasanella's painting focused on city life, men and women at work, union meetings, strikes, sit-ins and baseball games. He quickly developed a style which spoke to workers and the poor through the use of familiar details. Fasanella improvised a quasi-surrealist style, depicting interiors and exteriors or past and future simultaneously. He painted canvases as big as 10 feet across because he envisioned his paintings hanging in large union meeting halls.
