From the library of artist Alfonso Ossorio with his elaborate signature filling the flyleaf. Ossorio [1916-1990] was an abstract expressionist artist born in Manila, Philippines. At the age of fourteen, he moved to the United States, becoming a citizen in 1933. His work was influenced by his friend Jackson Pollock, whose work he admired and collected, and by the "art brut" of Jean Dubuffet whom he met in Paris in 1950.
