We continue working on documenting the life and art of sculptor
Joseph Guardo. Our most recent discovery is a priceless sketchbook from
1930-1932 which includes a number of drawings related to various
projects he was involved with during the early 1930's shortly after his
arrival in Montreal from Italy. At the time he signed his name P. (for
Peppino) Guardo. Based on these designs, if you look closely, you can
still find works of art displayed around the city and elsewhere. For
example on the exterior of schools, apartment buildings, banks,
churches, cinemas, etc. Enjoy!
