The Artistry of Vincent Quatroche Sr.
A Collaboration of The Jazz Loft and The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center At The Avram Gallery
Born on the South Fork of Long Island, and ultimately settled on the North Fork, Vincent Quatroche (1921-2011) was a gifted artist who lived at the intersection of music and visual art. His father was a musician in an early jazz band on Long Island and Vincent’s interactions with the band influenced him throughout his life. Many of Vincent’s paintings show this musical influence in subject and action and are combined with a sophisticated use of color with cubist and abstract expressionist influences.
All the works shown here were acquired directly from the artist's studio, courtesy of his widow Mrs. Edna Quatroche, and are now a part of The Jazz Loft Archives and the personal collection of Jazz Loft founder and historian, Tom Manuel. The Jazz Loft has the largest collection of Quattroche works in existence numbering just over 50 pieces which are permanently on display in The Jazz Loft’s main performance space, appropriately named, Club Q. The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center is pleased to have collaborated with the Jazz Loft to exhibit these paintings at the Avram Gallery throughout the Fall 2025 semester.
